Chocolate Strawberry Dog Toy โฅ Crochet Pattern

I was inspired by chocolate-covered strawberries to create these cute dog toys for my pomeranian pup, Lucy! I throw them for her, and she chases them, but just looks at them until I go and pick them up! lol
Your dog with love these chocolate-covered strawberry toys! You can make these dog toys whatever “flavor” you would like. I made two of these dog toys, one chocolate and one white chocolate-covered strawberry dog toys. Feel free to add one of those squeaking toy sounds if your dog is into those types of toys.
