Christopher John Francis Boone knows all the countries of the world and their capitals and every prime number up to 7,057. He relates well to animals but has no understanding of human emotions. He cannot stand to be touched. Although gifted with a superbly logical brain, Christopher is autistic. Everyday interactions and admonishments have little meaning for him. Routine, order and predictability shelter him from the messy, wider world. Then, at fifteen, Christopher's carefully constructed world falls apart when he finds his neighbor's dog, Wellington, impaled on a garden fork, and he is initially blamed for the killing. Christopher decides that he will track down the real killer and turns to his favorite fictional character, the impeccably logical Sherlock Holmes, for inspiration. But the investigation leads him down some unexpected paths and ultimately brings him face to face with the dissolution of his parents' marriage. As he tries to deal with the crisis within his own family, we are drawn into the workings of Christopher's mind. And herein lies the key to the brilliance of Mark Haddon's choice of narrator: The most wrenching of emotional moments are chronicled by a boy who cannot fathom emotion. The effect is dazzling, making for a novel that is deeply funny, poignant, and fascinating in its portrayal of a person whose curse and blessing is a mind that perceives the world literally. The Curious Incident of the Dog in the Night-Time is one of the freshest debuts in years: a comedy, a heartbreaker, a mystery story, a novel of exceptional literary merit that is great fun to read.Binding Type: Hardcover

Pawesome variety box!
Size: Large, Color: 9 Packs, Size: Large, Color: 9 Packs
I’m a big fan of this box of tug toys. My dog loves to chew and play tug-of-war, and these have been a great fit for him. The quality is solid, and one box typically lasts us around 6 months. He’s now 3.5 years old, so he doesn’t chew as aggressively as he used to, which helps them last even longer.
You get a great variety in this box. It’s honestly like Christmas for him every time I bring out a new toy. I usually grab a couple and let him pick. The different shapes and sizes keep things interesting, and he enjoys all of them. The toys are lightweight but very durable, even for an aggressive chewer like mine.
The material is made of thinner rope strands, but they’re tightly woven, which makes them ideal for both tugging and chewing. I also think the texture helps with his teeth and keeps them a bit cleaner.
I do keep an eye on them once they start to unravel, since I don’t want him swallowing loose strings. That said, it takes a while for him to break them down, so I’m comfortable leaving them with him when I’m not home.
I’ve bought several of these boxes over the years. For the price, it’s a great value—about the same cost as a single tug toy at most pet stores. My dog is about 55 lbs, and these are a great size for him. Even the smaller ones get a lot of use. His favorites are the looped ones and the ones with balls—he gets excited every time I pull one out.
I’ve tried other tug toy variety packs, and they don’t compare to this one. If you’re looking for a reliable variety pack for your dog, I’d recommend this one with confidence.

Revenge is sweet
Size: Large, Color: 14 Packs
The package arrived promptly. The puppy was ecstatic. She leaped into the pile of toys and went crazy. She tore through one after another. In mere minutes she devoured everything in sight. They never stood a chance. Within an hour or two she had consumed the entire pile of toys. Not to worry they had their revenge. She puked multi color string for days.
Overall the toys were fun just not durable.

Very very durable
Size: Large, Color: 9 Packs
So after spending quite a bit of money on toys for a 1-year-old long-haired dachshund because she's a very aggressive chewer I took a chance and bought this rope set and it's been 2 months she still has all her ropes everything I must say this is a very durable set well worth the money well worth the play time she loves tug of war these ropes are great for tug of war she has not chewed through any of them she has tried to take them apart which she had succeeded on one but I put a few knots in it and other than that I would recommend this rope set to anyone that's got a dog that likes the fat especially play tug of war or is a very very aggressive sure

Doggos are excited but...
Size: Large, Color: 9 Packs
My dogs are ecstatic about their new ropes. But they're big and aggressive chewers. These ropes are thinner than the pictures made them look. I'd say they're appropriately sized for dogs up to 35 lbs - and not as great for the large breeds show in the pictures.
