Are you sure that's not just an example of a foreign manufacturer's limited English?

I didn't see any other signs of it.

So now I suppose my neighbor will have to introduce her two dogs as Rodent Terriers. Doesn't have quite the same ring.

These toys just can't replicate the full experience, though. I was out on a trail Saturday and saw a man walking his long-haired dog off-leash. Only, the man had gotten ahead of the dog, and he didn't see that the dog had found something dead to roll in. The dog was having a great time.

Yeah... I think not replicating that experience is the point.
