NP24 REVIEW: Video Librarian 

This special entry in Jim and Kelly Watt’s acclaimed Discoveries…America National Parks series focuses on magnificent parks that also feature a train line. Here, viewers board vintage trains to witness natural beauty, starting with the Grand Canyon Railway,  The Durango & Silverton Narrow Gauge Railroad in Colorado travels an old route once used to transport metal ores mined in Silverton and brought to Durango. Gorgeous long shots of the train, with its steam engine and bumblebee-yellow cars moving through a spectacular valley, are accompanied by footage of an annual event in which people dress up in historic Western outfits amidst lots of hoopla and music. The Golden Spike National Historic Site in Utah is where the Transcontinental Railroad—joining eastward and westward tracks—was completed in 1869,  Re-enactments of the project’s completion can be seen most days of the year,  Also covered here is the Cuyahoga Valley Scenic Railroad, which originally carried coal and passengers across the Tuscarawas River Valley to Akron and Cleveland. Farther northwest, the Denali National Park—with its six million acres and tallest mountain in North America (Mount Denali)—is crossed daily by the Alaska Railroad, which has been traveling from Fairbanks to Anchorage since 1923, offering plenty to see in the way of mountains, glaciers, and wildlife. Sure to appeal to train buffs and armchair travelers, this is highly recommended. Aud: P. (T. Keogh)

Not the Fetch-Fest I Hoped For
Color: Orange
I had high hopes for the PetDroid Interactive Dog Ball, especially with the newly upgraded features and promises of durable, motion-activated fun. Unfortunately, it didn’t quite live up to expectations for my furry friend. Here’s why I’m giving it 2 stars. Promising Features, Lackluster Results The idea behind this toy is fantastic: a durable, motion-activated ball that would entertain my dog without much effort on my part. The ball is supposed to roll around on its own, keeping my dog engaged and active. However, in practice, it just didn’t capture my dog’s interest. Durability I will give credit where it’s due: the ball is well-made and seems durable. It can withstand some rough handling, which is great for more aggressive chewers. Unfortunately, durability doesn’t mean much if your dog won’t play with it in the first place. Motion Activation The motion activation feature is hit or miss. While the ball does move around as advertised, it didn’t seem to move in a way that intrigued my dog. He gave it a sniff, watched it for a minute, and then walked away, unimpressed. I tried multiple times to get him interested, but he simply wasn’t having it. Lack of Engagement The biggest issue is that the ball just didn’t engage my dog at all. It might be more suitable for a different personality type or breed, but for my pooch, it was a total flop. He’s usually quite playful and curious, so I was surprised by his lack of interest. Final Thoughts Overall, the PetDroid Interactive Dog Ball might work for some dogs, but it was a miss for mine. If your dog is easily entertained by automated toys, it might be worth a try. However, based on my experience, I can’t wholeheartedly recommend it. Pros: Durable construction Motion-activated as advertised Cons: Did not engage my dog Motion activation wasn’t intriguing enough Might be more suitable for specific dog types or personalities If you decide to give it a shot, just be prepared for the possibility that your dog might not find it as entertaining as you hope. For us, it’s back to the drawing board for a more engaging toy.

Pup Loves It, Some Other Notes
Color: Orange
We've had this for about six months and my 75 lb, 14-month-old German Shepherd pup LOVES IT. Her favorite is "Crazy Bouncing Mode." In fact, she doesn't care much for the normal mode. She chews it a lot - even drops it in her water bowl at times - and it's still going strong. This is a great purchase. It's nice hands-off entertainment. Do know that it is heavy compared to a normal ball - if your pup likes dropping it on the ground like mine does, it will land with a hard "thud," even with the included sleeve. Hopefully you don't have downstairs neighbors. Also know that the cover that goes over the charging port is removable and your dog may choke on it if they chew it in just the right manner. Definitely only let the pup play with it while supervised. All in all, great toy.

Heavy chewer approved.
Style: Ball, Size: Medium (Pack of 1)
My pomsky will destroy a toy in minutes. Ropes, and the "indestructible" nylon type stuffs are no match for my furry shark. This ball has stood up to him like David. He loves the crunch and it is so much more tolerable than a squeaker. These will be a staple in his toy box - Chuckit toys are really the most durable dog toys I have found in three years.
