WINNER OF THE 2013 PULITZER PRIZE FOR BIOGRAPHY
General Alex Dumas is a man almost unknown today, yet his story is strikingly familiar--because his son, the novelist Alexandre Dumas, used his larger-than-life feats as inspiration for such classics as The Count of Monte Cristo and The Three Musketeers.
But, hidden behind General Dumas's swashbuckling adventures was an even more incredible secret: he was the son of a black slave--who rose higher in the white world than any man of his race would before our own time. Born in Saint-Domingue (now Haiti), Alex Dumas made his way to Paris, where he rose to command armies at the height of the Revolution--until he met an implacable enemy he could not defeat. The Black Count is simultaneously a riveting adventure story, a lushly textured evocation of 18th-century France, and a window into the modern world's first multi-racial society. TIME magazine called The Black Count "one of those quintessentially human stories of strength and courage that sheds light on the historical moment that made it possible." But it is also a heartbreaking story of the enduring bonds of love between a father and son.Binding Type: Paperback

Dogs go for this ball every time
Size: Large, Size: Large
My Boston's and Rotti love this ball. I had to get two more. It's great for the Boston's because they can grasp it with the way it's made with the softer rubber. They love the crackle sound. It's just the right size and weight for smaller like the Boston Terrier and Rotti. Easy cleaning, rinses right off.

It's a Hit a Our House!
Size: Large
My strong chewer is still ..... Well, going strong! He loves his new crackle ball.
He enjoys the new sound, the bounce back feeling in his jaws when chews.
Mom is happy that pup hasn't put a dent in the toy yet!
Price was more than reasonable too.
We give it 5 Paws Up!

The Piglet turned my old dog EVIL!
This little piglet turned my old lady into a monster. She normally plays with the full-sized version, but I saw this little guy for like 75% off, so I thought, “What the heck! Let’s give the piglet a try!” Friends, it made my 14-year-old fuzzy girl CRAZY! I can’t attest to its durability because my girl’s teeth aren’t as sharp as they used to be, but I suspect a few years ago she would have torn it to pieces in a matter of minutes. It’s not incredibly thick, but it is nice and soft for her old lady mouth, and I like that it’s a safe toy to throw around the house because it’s small and relatively harmless. The piglet continues to bring her joy with its squeaking, and it’s just adorable to watch her become Evil Dog when I try to take it away from her! (I almost lost a finger!) I wouldn’t pay full price for it, but on super sale, it’s a real bargain.

Purchased multiple times for different dogs. LOVE the pigs
These little piggies have been a staple in my house for years for3 dogs. I ordered the large pigs for my Great Dane and the smaller ones for my Black and Tan (yes he is a rotten house dog) and the Norfolk Terrier. Different personalities but they all love the pigs! They last FOREVER. My dogs make it a mission to find and destroy the squeakers in other toys, but the pigs give them a run for their money and hours of play time. Definitely recommend for all breeds - remember they also come in a larger size
