A black comedy of manners about vast wealth and a woman who can define herself only through the perceptions of others. The beautiful Lily Bart lives among the nouveaux riches of New York City - people whose millions were made in railroads, shipping, land speculation and banking. In this morally and aesthetically bankrupt world, Lily, age twenty-nine, seeks a husband who can satisfy her cravings for endless admiration and all the trappings of wealth. But her quest comes to a scandalous end when she is accused of being the mistress of a wealthy man. Exiled from her familiar world of artificial conventions, Lily finds life impossible.

Durable, Fun, Best Toy Ever for My Spoiled Rotten Rottweiler
This is one of the best toys EVER for our 107 lb male Rottweiler. We have had the Med/Large size for over a year and it has remained Sam’s favorite toy and proven extremely durable. We play fetch and toss/catch with it in the yard and he throws it in the air, pounces on it and makes it squeak like prey. BTW some reviews say their toys don’t squeak; I am guessing those people have the wrong kind of dog for this toy. I can’t make it squeak with my hands, but my Rottie’s powerful jaws have no problem. It’s ideal as a toy for a big, powerful dog when all other toys have fallen apart. I just got Sam the Large/XL size and he was absolutely delighted with it!

My dogs loves it and cannot tear it up no matter how hard she tries and squeaker is secure and excites her when she manages to crush the center ball. Loves to chase it.

Not Boerboel proof
I have a terrible time finding toys for my 10 month old Boerboel. Either she ignores it or tears it up immediately. She likes this toy (jumbo size) and actually chewed on it for 20 min. Bad side is she chewed a hole. It lasted longer than any of the other fairly chewy toys I've tried. She doesn't like the hard chews.

Favorite Toy
Size: Medium/Large, Product Packaging: Standard Packaging
My dog is a 3.5 yr old mix and this toy has been her favorite toy by far for three years. She likes it as a squeak toy, loves it as a tug toy and can't live without it as fetch toy. I roll it on its edge outside and she chases it - sometimes it take cool bounces or swerves and sometimes its just rolls straight and fast and whatever it does she can't get enough of it. She demands we play fetch with it at least three times a day. She's not a great releaser of fetch toys so there's plenty of tugging play involved too. We've had three of these over three years, but she's 75 pounds of muscle and it gets a work out every day so it's a really tough toy. All dogs are different, so I don't know what your dog will think, but it's been a fantastic toy for our girl.

So Bad
Size: Medium/Large, Product Packaging: Standard Packaging, Size: Medium/Large, Product Packaging: Standard Packaging
Had high hopes for this toy as Kong is fantastic with aggressive chewers as or Lulu is. This toy didn't last 30 minutes before she was able to tear it apart. The rubber and plastic are not of the same quality on nearly all there other toys she has. Have found better toys for half the cost. Kong needs to do better.
