Kenzaburo Oe, the winner of the 1994 Nobel Prize for Literature, is internationally acclaimed as one of the most important and influential post-World War II writers, known for his powerful accounts of the atomic bombing of Hiroshima and his own struggle to come to terms with a mentally handicapped son. The Swedish Academy lauded Oe for his "poetic force that] creates an imagined world where life and myth condense to form a disconcerting picture of the human predicament today." His most popular book, A Personal Matter is the story of Bird, a frustrated intellectual in a failing marriage whose Utopian dream is shattered when his wife gives birth to a brain-damaged child. "In writing novels there is no substitute for maturity and moral awareness. Kenzaburo Oe has both."--Alan Levensohn, Christian Science MonitorBinding Type: Paperback

Takes a licking and keeps on…you know…
Style: Squeaky Duck
Our pit is a determined chewer, and this has lasted over a week. If he annihilates it tomorrow, it was still a great success!

Great value and cute toy!
Style: Squeaky Duck
Our dog LOVES this toy. Once he chewed through the duck the inside toy became one of his favorites.

Destructable
Style: Squeaky Duck
Destructible!!!! My 13-pound dog stripped the bird toy down in a day. I’d recommend strong or highly motivated chewers get a different toy.

Great for puppies
Size: Small(3/8"-6ft), Color: Pink
Perfect for a new puppy. It’s thick and sturdy so the pup can’t chew through it easily. The slip knot slides well so the pup is secured but not choked. Easy to hold. Great product.

Functional and pretty leash!
Size: Large(1/2"-6ft), Color: Grey
This is a convenient leash for taking pup out for a quick potty break. Obviously, the dog doesn't care about the aesthetic but I sure do, and this thing is cute. The leather accents are lovely and the whole thing seems to be high quality for a good price. For a dog that doesn't pull on the leash, this thing is great and super easy to use. Our dog is still learning not to pull, so this wouldn't be suitable for a long walk just yet.
