With poignant insight and humor, Frank Vertosick Jr., MD, describes some of the greatest challenges of his career, including a six-week-old infant with a tumor in her brain, a young man struck down in his prime by paraplegia, and a minister with a .22-caliber bullet lodged in his skull.

Fun Toy for Active Dogs
Color: Blue
Great engagement for my pup! The noise level is low, and chew resistance seems solid. Decent value for money with a nice appearance. Durable enough for daily play. Highly recommended!

Fun toy, but dog is able to unscrew
The dog loves it. But.....the dog bites and twists it in his paws and is able to unscrew it. Now the threads are getting stripped. And I am concerned he will start chewing on the battery if I am not watching him. Update - the seller refunded my money, so all good. If your dog can't unscrew it, they will love it.

Not for my kids
Scary ball to my dogs. The power button is inside so you have to unscrew it, turn it on & screw it back together before it starts moving. It's not easy. It's harder than a rubber ball so I think it would be sturdy. It might work for some dogs, but mine ran for the hills!
