DoP - November 2008, NZ Private Melville King of Carterton was a tiny part of New Zealand's huge manpower contribution to the Allied armies in World War One. His diary, recording what he did and what he saw, reflects the military service of an ordinary young man half the globe away from home and in extraordinary circumstances. His perceptive and detailed view of the Great War adds an important 'voice' to the New Zealand understanding of that tragic and crucial event. Melve King's words are supported by additional text explaining facets of his army life and the major campaigns and battles of the New Zealand Division on the Western Front. Melve faithfully recorded many of the Wairarapa men he served with and these are detailed in an extensive personnel index.

Good toy, strong yet soft!
This was one of my best toy purchases for our GSD! He’s a rough playing dog with a hard mouth! Toy destroyer! This he loves to fetch, tug, carry, and chew on. I never really expected it to last when I got it. Surprise! Almost two months of rigorous daily play and it’s still almost like new!

Great cost effective chew toy for an aggressive chewer
Bought multiple. Still have a few in the package because the others are still going strong. Nice heft to throw them a good distance, durable enough for a heeler that is a very aggressive chewer to not destroy them after a month, and easy to see when they leave them in the grass. Good size, Good weight, Excellent durability, and keeps their attention longer than a actual stick.

Fun toy for dogs
Great toy for my dog. She loves when we throw it in the backyard for her and so far she hasn’t chewed it apart and she’s a big chewer. It’s bouncy too which makes it even more fun to chase. Great toy for the price

Great toy
Nice as a chew toy, fetch toy or for tug. My dogs liked it immediately. I love that it is not immediately destroyed, like most fabric toys.

Great for puppy gnawing!
I bought this toy a few months back and now I'm chiming in.. WOW! This is the FIRST toy our husky, Billie Eyelash, has NOT destroyed. She's about 16 Mos. and let no toy live this far except this one lol. I am amazed at the durability of this lil stick. When she needs to gnaw this thing is great! Gets right into the back teeth. They're is barely a mark on it and it's bouncy when you throw it. Yeah she loves it! 5 star
