Sixteen Men, Seventy-Two Days, and Insurmountable Odds--the Classic Adventure of Survival in the Andes

On October 12, 1972, an Uruguayan Air Force plane carrying a team of rugby players crashed in the remote snowy peaks of the Andes. Ten weeks later, only sixteen of the forty-five passengers were found alive. This is the story of those ten weeks spent in the shelter of the plane's fuselage without food and with scarcely any hope of a rescue. The survivors protected and helped one another, and came to the difficult conclusion that to live meant doing the unimaginable. Confronting nature at its most furious, two brave young men risked their lives to hike through the mountains looking for help. A tale of astonishing bravery and adventure, Alive is much more than a survival story, it is a breathtaking saga of human courage

The P.S. edition features an extra 16 pages of insights into the book, including interviews, recommended reading, and more.

Tough chewers favorite toy
Pattern Name: Classic Squeaky Tug, Pattern Name: Classic Squeaky Tug
This has become my dog’s favorite toy! It looks just like a corn on the cob! The toy itself is very durable. The rope that was attached got torn off within hours though. After much use, it still looks brand new minus the rope!

The Toy That Tires Out Your Dog So You Don’t Have To!
Color: Classic Blue, Color: Classic Blue
After trying a different interactive ball previously, I can confidently say this one is built much better. The construction feels more durable, and most importantly, it has held up well against my dog's enthusiastic chewing and chasing. Many interactive toys claim to be tough, but this one has actually survived extended play sessions without being torn apart. The charging design is simple and well thought out. The ball twists apart easily to reveal the USB-C charging port, making recharging quick and convenient. Once charged, you simply twist the halves back together, press the power button, and it's ready to go. I appreciate that there are no complicated steps or special charging accessories required. What really stands out is how engaging the toy is. The unpredictable movement keeps my dog interested and encourages plenty of exercise and mental stimulation. Instead of losing interest after a few minutes, my dog continued chasing, pawing, and interacting with the ball until he was genuinely worn out. For pet owners looking for a way to help burn off excess energy, this toy definitely does the job. One minor issue I noticed is that on a couple of occasions, my dog was able to accidentally turn the toy off while carrying it in his mouth. It wasn't a frequent problem, but it did happen enough to be worth mentioning. Fortunately, turning it back on is quick and easy. Overall, this has been one of the better interactive dog toys I've tested. It's durable, easy to charge, keeps dogs engaged, and provides the kind of activity that leaves them happily exhausted afterward. If your dog enjoys chasing moving toys and you want something sturdier than many of the alternatives on the market, this is a solid choice.

Great Entertainment, Short Battery Life
Color: Classic Blue
This is the first interactive ball I've found that my dog hasn't managed to destroy, which is impressive on its own. The ball keeps him entertained for long periods, and he loves chasing, nudging, and following it around the house. The material feels durable and has held up well to regular play. The one button operation is convenient, and the ball is easy to recharge and clean. My biggest complaint is the battery life. On a full charge, it only seems to run for about 10 minutes before needing to be recharged again. Because of that, I find myself charging it frequently. Even with the shorter runtime, it's been one of the more engaging and durable interactive toys we've tried. Overall, a fun and sturdy toy that keeps dogs occupied, but be prepared for frequent charging.
