I've had many dogs in my life and none have shown any interest in toys.
However my mom has a Chi. I got her a rubber chicken and she loves rubbing that thing in my fucking mouth. It's black now since its so dirty.
That's not the worst of it though....
My parents neighbors make pig spine soup. How the Chi ends up with bones I haven't determined. I will be sleeping on the couch and that thing comes over and rubs human sucked, dog nibbled pig spine bones all over my face. I don't wake up until I feel the abrasion....and then it's much much too late.

A yellow lab showed up at our house the day before Easter, and we haven't found his owner. We'll keep him if we can't find his family. Anyhow, he'll play fetch ALL DAY, but he'll tear up a tennis ball in about 30 seconds. We got him a Kong ball, which he can't shred. But, it's really heavy. He also keeps trying to steal my daughter's stuffed animals- I'm sure he wants to pull them apart.
Our old mutt only takes an interest in toys if one of the other dogs (or a kid) wants one. She'll sneak off and bury toys that are popular at the house.

"I will be sleeping on the couch and that thing comes over and rubs human sucked, dog nibbled pig spine bones all over my face."
Out of context, that sentence sounds really, really disturbing.
