Claim 16:
17. A dog toy comprising:
a first component having a first component cuboidal body having six faces, the first component cuboidal body defining a first component cavity, the first component cuboidal body having a first component opening into the first component cavity on one of the faces, the first component cuboidal body also having a first protrusion extending from one of the faces, a second protrusion extending from another one of the faces, and a third protrusion extending from another one of the faces; and
a second component having a second component cuboidal body having six faces, the second component cuboidal body defining a second component cavity, the second component cuboidal body having a second component opening into the second component cavity on one of the faces, the second component cuboidal body also having a first protrusion extending from one of the faces, a second protrusion extending from another one of the faces, and a third protrusion extending from another one of the faces; and
wherein each of the first protrusion, the second protrusion, and the third protrusion of the first component is selectively insertable into the second component opening in a manner where it remains within the second component opening to close the second component opening and is removable from the second component opening when a separation force is applied, wherein the separation force for each protrusion is different when the protrusions are fully inserted into the second component opening, and wherein each separation forces is selected to provide a different challenge for a dog trying to separate the components,
wherein each of the first protrusion, the second protrusion, and the third protrusion of the second component is selectively insertable into the first component opening in a manner where it remains within the first component opening to close the first component opening and is removable from the first component opening when a separation force is applied, wherein the separation force for each protrusion is different when the protrusions are fully inserted into the first component opening, and wherein each separation forces is selected to provide a different challenge for a dog trying to separate the components,
whereby a treat can be inserted into the first component cavity or the second component cavity, the cavity into which the treat is inserted can be closed by insertion of the first protrusion, second protrusion, or third protrusion of other component into the opening into the cavity into which the treat is inserted, and a dog can gain access to the treat by separating the first component and the second component.
