This rug is beautiful, bold, hefty! I loved it the moment I saw it online, and later when I unrolled it. Unfortunately I missed the detail in the description about it being hooked, and with a scampering little dog, I did not think hooked and dog nails were a good match. I returned it and found the return process to be painless and very fast, I was impressed with Wayfair. I am sorry this rug was not a good fit for me and my pooch.
