Is the material the sofa is made from relevant? no Is it wicker? no Does the ball end up somewhere inaccessible? YESBut still visible? just about Could a human retrieve it? yes Without moving the sofa? yes Does it have longer legs than the previous couch, so the ball fits underneath, and he can't get it out? YES! ************* SPOILER **************** Our new three piece suite has little legs so there is a four inch gap between the base and the floor. The previous one didn't. As a result, things often get pushed underneath and the dog's toys often roll there and they land against the wall - too far for his paw to reach. So he lies there with his snout under the couch 'crying in the darkness' as he can see/smell his toy, but can't reach it and we use a grabber thing to get it for him. Thank you one and all. | ||
