Roughing ItA marvelously vivid, many sided portrait of America's frontier days. Mark Twain's rambling took him all over the American West during teh 1860's. He prospected for gold and silver, speculated on timber and mining stocks, sailed to Hawaii, and worked for a succession of small newspapers.

A marvelously vivid, many-sided portrait of America's frontier days. Mark Twain's rambling took him all over the American West during teh 1860's. He prospected for gold and silver, speculated on timber and mining stocks, sailed to Hawaii, and worked for a succession of small newspapers. In Roughing It, his fictionalized account of these years, tall tales abound, as do sketches of unforgettable characters: desperadoes, vigilantes, newspapermen, Mormons, and prospectors. Twain's Debt to the burlesque styling of regional humorists and his celebrated gift for accurately rendering regional speech are never more in evidence than here, but as Hamlin Hill points out in his introduction, Roughing It must also be read as Twain's renunciation of his footloose bachelorhood, his rejection of the mythic, romanticized image of the West, and his autopsy of the American dream.

Good purchase, dog loved it, lasted months
Size: 8 Inch, Color: Tree Branch
My dog loved it, took several months before she destroyed it. I did eventually have to throw it out because she managed to start breaking pieces off and eating it.

Dog Loves It, But Durability/Safety Major Issue
Size: 8 Inch, Color: Tree Branch
My 9 month old Frenchie loves it, but she got pretty sick this weekend and was vomiting all day...next day she finally threw up a big chunk of this toy...just beware if your dog is a heavy chewer, this may not be the right fit for you. Not the best durability...

She loves them, therefore I love them too
Size: 5.5 Inch, Color: Ring Toy
My furbaby LOVES these, especially the peanut butter flavored ones. I still regularly brush her teefers, but these do help with dental care.

Made mostly of POLYPROPYLENE PLASTIC and should not be injested.
Size: 8 Inch - 2 Pack, Color: Tree Branch
BAD PRODUCT. DO NOT BUY THESE FOR YOUR DOG. They are made mostly of POLYPROPYLENE PLASTIC. It even says on the package - "CAUTION: Product is not intended to be eaten or ingested. If you believe your pet has swallowed a piece, please take away and contact veterinarian if needed.
Our dachshund went to town on one of these and had diarrhea for two days and cost us several hundred dollars in vet bills to do x-rays and medicine for the poor dog. What do you think a dog is going to do with a dog chew? Just find another product. This one isn't worth it.
