With grit, poetry, and humor, Peter Heller, acclaimed author of The River and The Whale Warriors recounts his remarkable journey of discovery--of surfing, an entirely new challenge; of the ocean's beauty and power; of the strange surf subculture; of love; and, most of all, of how to seek adventure while crafting a meaningful life. Author of the New York Times bestselling novel The Dog StarsWinner of the National Outdoor Book Award for Literature Having resolved to master a big-hollow wave--that is, to go from kook (surfese for beginner) to shredder--in a single year, Heller travels from Southern California down the coast of Mexico in the company of his girlfriend and the eccentric surfers they meet. Exuberant and fearless, Heller explores the technique and science of surfing the secrets of its culture, and the environmental ravages to the stunning coastline he visits. As Heller plumbs the working of his own heart and finds joy in both love and surfing, he affords readers vivid insight into this fascinating world, with all of its perils and pleasures, its absurdity and wonder. Exhilarating, entertaining, and moving, Kook is a love story between a man and his surfboard, a man and his girlfriend, a not-so-old man and the sea.

My teacup chihuahua liked it, so I can't complain
My teacup chihuahua liked it, so I can't complain. It was part of his Christmas gifts this year. It's nice and exactly as pictured. It has a squeaker in it and is well made. I would have given it 5 stars, but I guess I misjudged the size a little (my fault) and I think the price is a little high. Other than that, I'm all-together pleased with my purchase. I would probably order from this company again.

Worth it!
My dog loves this rabbit. I'm surprised that it's held up so well. My pup's not a light chewer either. This one was worth the money.

Greyhound approved
My greyhound loves this and will play with it daily. He ripped the squeaker out unfortunately, which I will need to replace back in. Other than that, it's nice to have a toy that doesn't clash with my decor... I know that sounds crazy but all the different wild colors of dog toys littered across my living room can drive me nuts!

Thank you Pet Lou, for making such a durable, fun, cute & inexpensive dog toy. I'm even buying more to send to his Mother & Father dog, brother & sister so they can have fun too

No grunting noise
I had the large size rabbit toy for my Golden Retriever. It has since been destroyed and discarded, but it was much loved by my dog for the grunting and squeaking noises. This smaller version, purchased for my parents' pugs, is not as great. There is no grunting noise, just a squeaker. It's still cute and the quality is good, but it was slightly disappointing to find no "grunter."
