A Witness to History: George H. Mahon, West Texas CongressmanThis is the story of George H. Mahon, a man who went to Congress in 1935, when the House Committee on Appropriations still allocated a small amount of money to buy military horses. Forty four years later, when Mahon retired as Chairman of that same committee, the committee was debating funds to purchase a bomber capable of traveling at 2,000 miles an hour. With a career spanning nearly a half century spanning almost the entire Cold War Mahon grew from
This is the story of George H. Mahon, a man who went to Congress in 1935, when the House Committee on Appropriations still allocated a small amount of money to buy military horses. Forty-four years later, when Mahon retired as Chairman of that same committee, the committee was debating funds to purchase a bomber capable of traveling at 2,000 miles an hour. With a career spanning nearly a half century--spanning almost the entire Cold War--Mahon grew from a West Texas country lawyer to one of the most powerful men in the US House of Representatives, serving twenty-two consecutive terms from 1935-1978. During his time in Congress, Mahon worked easily with the giants of government, enjoying the friendship and confidence of seven of the eight presidents with whom he served. He worked just as comfortably with his constituents in the Nineteenth Congressional District of Texas. Mahon served on several Congressional committees, but it is through his service on the House Appropriations Committee and the Subcommittee on Defense Appropriations that he had the greatest national impact. He often bragged that under his leadership the Subcommittee on Defense Appropriations was the most non-partisan committee in Congress. Mahon led the subcommittee with a strong but gentle hand that earned him the respect of all who served with him.Binding Type: Hardcover

Great interactive toy for energetic dogs
This ball has been a great way to keep my dog entertained, especially when I can’t play nonstop. The movement really grabs their attention, and the 3 play modes are a nice touch depending on how energetic your dog is feeling. It works well both indoors and outside, and my dog loves chasing it around. It's not noisy at all and has thicker material so it cannot be easily chewed or ripped.
The E-TPU material feels durable and has held up well so far, even with pretty rough play. It’s easy to use, simple to switch modes, and keeps my dog busy for a good amount of time without getting bored.
Definitely a fun and engaging toy for medium to large dogs, especially if they need extra stimulation. Would recommend for supervised play!

Keeps him entertained!
My dog loves this ball! It's very durable, I love how it moves and jumps aorunf on it own keeping my dog entertained. The battery life is great, I have no complaints. It's very quiet also.

Keeps the dog occupied
The ball seems to work fine. My only complaint is that it’s a little loud.

Noise, but Has Good Qualities as Well
I bought this for my German Shepherd (117lbs). He is interested and will play with it for at least 15 minutes before moving onto other toys.
The movement is great. Quite sporadic which keeps my dog guessing which way it will roll.
Drawback: The sounds made by the ball while enabled are quite loud and can get annoying to us humans after a while. Heaven forbid if it gets stuck when it was in a movement mode...Continues to Buzz loudly until "rescued".
My Shepherd likes to chew like any other dog. The pressure on his mouth is tremendous. This ball takes it.
The size is also key. Large enough to not be a choking hazard for big mouths. So safety is apparent. The material allows a lot of "slobber", but seems to either wick it away (to where - haven't a clue). If I handle it - it is miraculously dry.
This would be the perfect toy if the noise level wasn't nearing "10".

Exciting vibrating ball
My dog loves the Lovkid Dog Ball. The bouncing and noises keep his attention, keep him active, and he invites me to share in the fun. He chases, watches it bounce, and hides it in the furniture. This has been an enjoyable and entertaining toy and I recommend it.
