In 1860, fifteen years after Sir John Franklin's ill-fated expedition disappeared in the Arctic, a Cincinnati businessman named Charles Francis Hall set out to locate and rescue the expedition's survivors. He was an amateur explorer, without any scientific training or experience, but he was driven by a sense of personal destiny and of religious and patriotic mission. Despite the odds against him, he made three forays into the far North, the final--and fatal--one taking him farther north than any westerner had ever gone before. But Hall was suddenly taken ill on that voyage and died under mysterious circumstances. Ninety-seven years later, Chauncey Loomis headed an expedition to Hall's grave in northwestern Greenland. He exhumed Hall's frozen body and performed an autopsy. His findings suggest that the investigators of Hall's death nervously sidestepped the damning evidence. Loomis has written a masterful biography-cum-mystery that brilliantly evokes the lure of the Arctic and the brutal contest between man and nature.

He likes it!
Color: Hammer, Size: Large, Color: Hammer, Size: Large
Shipping was quick, the packaging and product came undamaged.
Cute.
This dog toy is super soft. The squeaker is inside and seems more durable than most others.
The little bit of rope at the bottom is not the typical material you find with other popular dog toys.
My GR enjoys playing fetch with it and hasn't destroyed it. I feel this product is a decent value and would get it again. Other options to choose from too.

Durable and fun dog toy.
Color: Hammer, Size: Large
This plush hammer toy is incredibly soft and adorable, filled generously with plush material. My dog looks so goofy carrying it around in his mouth, and he has so much fun squeaking it! It's surprisingly durable; unlike many of his toys, which he typically chews through quickly, this one has stood up to his rough play so far. The little rope at the end is a thoughtful design element, allowing him to chew on it while maintaining durability. At 12 inches, the size is generous, making it perfect for medium and large dogs. Cleaning is easy; it can be spot cleaned with a microfiber cloth and warm, soapy water. For just $14.99, this toy is an excellent quality choice for the price!

Phoebe approved! 3 months and still going!!
Color: Hammer, Size: Large, Color: Hammer, Size: Large
I have 2 dogs--a chocolate lab and a pittie mix. Normally, they shred their toys within minutes/hours if not days, but this one has lasted for over 3 months! It is well loved and starting to show some wear, but I am super impressed with how long this one has lasted. It has a couple holes in it but they haven't disemboweled it. The squeeker didn't last too long, but they never do.

Good for modest chewers who don't destroy toys.
Color: Hammer, Size: Large
We have four dogs, one of whom is a super chewer. Unfortunately, this toy wasn't even durable enough to stand up to our mid-level chewer. She had the squeaker out of this in mere moments, and the rope was untied and in shreds. We had to basically remove the squeaker from her, then clip the rope from the toy so she didn't try to eat it. Now, don't get me wrong. She's still having a great time with this toy, even as she whips it around and tosses stuffing everywhere. This is definitely sized for medium to large dogs, but I would only recommend this to dogs who don't like to destroy their toys, but instead just like to squeak them and maybe play some light tug. For those dogs, this will be a great option. For super chewers, this will last only minutes and I would not recommend it.
