    i am guessing it has to do something with the rubber boot underneath the brake pedal
    First off, we gotta know what kinda pet were talkin' about here...

    My point being, a squeak toy for the garden variety chi-hua is gonna sound a LOT different than say, a squeak toy for an aardvark, or lion, or even rhinosckerus......

    I have to do this once a year or so. It really gets crazy in hot/humid or rainy weather. That rubber grommet just doesn't seem to like moisture.

    Squeak toy FTW!

    It can also be that your master cylinder is going out.
