Abstract
A pet toy comprises a flexible body having an exterior surface and a hollow interior chamber. A partial spherical shaped recess is formed on the exterior surface. A ball is received in the partial spherical shaped recess such that a first portion of an outer surface of the ball is covered by the recess, and a second portion of the outer surface is exposed and protrudes beyond the flexible body. A noise making module is disposed in the hollow interior chamber. The module has a noise making element mounted therein to produce sound when a force is applied to the flexible body to deflect the exterior surface of the flexible body.
