SOON TO BE A MAJOR MOTION PICTURE - NAMED ONE OF THE BEST BOOKS OF THE YEAR BY THE NEW YORK TIMES

Near the end of World War II, two British naval officers came up with a brilliant and slightly mad scheme to mislead the Nazi armies about where the Allies would attack southern europe. To carry out the plan, they would have to rely on the most unlikely of secret agents: a dead man.

Ben Macintyre's dazzling, critically acclaimed bestseller chronicles the extraordinary story of what happened after British officials planted this dead body--outfitted in a British military uniform with a briefcase containing false intelligence documents--in Nazi territory, and how this secret mission fooled Hitler into changing military positioning, paving the way for the Allies to overtake the Nazis.

Belgian Malinois
Color: Skull Print, Size: 6 inches, Color: Skull Print, Size: 6 inches
Any toy that last over 2 days with a Belgian deserves 5 stars. I purchased this for my pup's 2nd birthday. She loves it. Within in 24hrs all the tabs were chewed off but the ball itself is still holding up. She plays volleyball with it, catch, Chase, and chews on it. It is going on a month and it is still around. Thank you. It is difficult to find a toy that lasts with a Belgian and they are hyper dogs that need toys.

A MUST for busy dogs!!
Color: Green, Size: Medium
The tags are a hit! My border collie entertains herself with this ball. The longer black tag is PERFECT for her to grasp it and fling it in the air.

He loves his new ball
Color: Paw Print, Size: 8 inches
My German Shepherd loves it. The only issue we had is that he managed to tear the black handle off within 5 minutes, so we just ended up cutting it completely off. Other than that he loves it.

Great Dog Toy!
Color: Paw Print, Size: 8 inches
This soccer ball gets even my LAZY dog moving! It's so fun for them to play with and tug with. Great product, will need to keep re-buying it whenever it gets a hole in it from the rough wear and tear of my pups! :)
