Description
Stolen from the Garden: The Kidnapping of Virginia PiperOn a July afternoon in 1972, two masked men waving guns abducted forty nine year old Virginia Piper from the garden of her lakeside home in Orono, Minnesota. After her husband, a prominent investment banker, paid a $1 million ransom, an anonymous caller directed the FBI to a thickly wooded section of a northern Minnesota state park. There, two days after her nightmare began, Ginny Piper chained to a tree, filthy and exhausted, but physically unharmed
On a July afternoon in 1972, two masked men waving guns abducted forty-nine-year-old Virginia Piper from the garden of her lakeside home in Orono, Minnesota. After her husband, a prominent investment banker, paid a $1 million ransom, an anonymous caller directed the FBI to a thickly wooded section of a northern Minnesota state park. There, two days after her nightmare began, Ginny Piper--chained to a tree, filthy and exhausted, but physically unharmed--awaited her rescuers. The intensely private couple lived through a media firestorm. Both Bobby and Ginny Piper herself--naturally reserved and surprisingly composed in the aftermath of her ordeal--were subject to FBI scrutiny in the largest kidnap-for-ransom case in bureau annals. When two career criminals were finally indicted five years after the abduction, the Pipers again took center stage in two long trials before a jury's verdict made headlines across the nation. Drawing on closely held government documents and exclusive interviews with family members, investigators, suspects, lawyers, and others intimately connected to the case, William Swanson provides the first comprehensive account of the sensational Piper kidnapping and its long, eventful aftermath--and makes a case for the most plausible explanation for what really happened on that July afternoon. William Swanson is the author of Dial M: The Murder of Carol Thompson and Black White Blue: The Assassination of Patrolman Sackett.Binding Type: Paperback

The best chew ever for a strong chewer
Color: Dogwood (Brown), Size: Large (Pack of 1)
We have a 77lb goldendoodle who loves these. We’re lucky because he doesn’t chew on anything other than his toys, but when he starts on this…he really goes at it. It’s healthy, (not synthetic), doesn’t break apart, (no pieces to worry about him swallowing), it just perfect for him. The noise may get on your nerves but it’s a small price to pay to keep him from chewing on your furniture, shoes, or anything else a mischievous dog can find.

Little pieces break off
Color: Dogwood (Brown), Size: Large (Pack of 1)
My dog is obsessed with this. It does last a long time even given her strong chewing capabilities. I wish it was a little bigger. The main reason I rated it so low is when my dog is chewing on this it breaks off a little plastic peice and sometimes it hits the back of her throat making her cough so you have to supervise with this.

Great for aggressive chewers
Color: Dogwood (Brown), Size: Large (Pack of 1)
My dog is an aggressive chewer so they are great for her. I would love to have one a bit thinner so it could fit in a holder so it is easier for her to hold while eating. This keeps her busy and is long lasting. I have purchased these multiple times.

Awsome puppy toy
This toy is great. My baby destroys every stuffed toy we get her. Except this one and one other from the same manufacturer. She loves them so much and is constantly playing with them. No rips or holes at all. I’d give 10 stars if I could!

Durable Stuffed Toys for a Chewer
I have 2 two year old medium size mixed dogs (Paisan and Barley) Barley is a chewer and has destroyed every stuffed toy we've bought within a couple days until this sloth and racoon. I purchased the sloth almost a month ago and can't believe it's still in one piece! They love the sloth and the two of them play tug of war with it everyday. It's Barley's favorite toy to chew on and no longer has a face or squeaker (which she removed through the face) and the hands and feet have taken a beating but the rest of it has held up incredibly well due to the strong stitching. We've had the racoon for almost 3 months but for some reason neither of my dogs pays much attention to it. The ears have been chewed off but that's it. I'm so pleased to finally find toys that can hold up to Barley! They are more expensive than other stuffed toys but so much more durable and worth every penny! I'm sticking with this brand!
