The Eagle on My Arm: How the Wilderness and Birds of Prey Saved a Veteran's LifeIn October 1967, eighteen year old Patrick Bradley enlisted in the US Army and was later deployed to North Vietnam as a special operator with missions to kill high value targets.

In October 1967, eighteen-year-old Patrick Bradley enlisted in the US Army and was later deployed to North Vietnam as a special operator with missions to kill high-value targets. Combat left him physically and psychologically wounded, as it does many veterans, and Bradley struggled to adjust when he returned home. He seemed destined for military prison after an altercation in which he broke a superior officer's jaw, but his life changed forever when a psychiatrist recommended a unique path for healing.

Thanks to a program sponsored by the Canadian government, Bradley traveled to Canada to study bald eagles and document their behavior. He found himself recovering while living alone in the wild with minimal supplies or human contact. At the same time, his work was paving the way for groundbreaking research, including the discovery of a link between the use of the pesticide DDT and a decrease in southern bald eagle populations. Later, he forged a successful career training and managing wild animals and committed himself to helping other wounded warriors by cofounding the Avian Veteran Alliance, a nonprofit that pairs veterans suffering from PTSD and physical injuries with injured birds of prey.

The Eagle on My Arm tells Bradley's inspirational story for the first time. This moving account reveals how a soldier became a dedicated healer, using his years of study and solitude to face his demons and turn his pain into a lifelong passion for helping others.

They were tough, but not mower blade tough
They were holding up well for my doggy that eats and destroys everything. He was sad when daddy didn't see it in the yard when he mowed. Does not hold up to mower blades sadly enough lol.

Tough, Durable, and Great for Heavy Chewers
The Feeko Heavy Duty Dog Rope Toys (2-pack) have been a great addition for my dog, who is a large breed and absolutely destroys most toys within days. These ropes have held up far better than expected and have become a go-to for daily tug-of-war sessions. The ropes are thick, tightly woven, and feel genuinely sturdy. Even with constant chewing and pulling, they’ve shown very minimal fraying so far. My dog loves grabbing both ends for tug games, and I like that it keeps him engaged and active. Another nice bonus is the teeth-cleaning benefit. While it’s not a replacement for dental care, the fibers definitely help reduce some buildup as he chews and plays, which is a nice added perk. The size is also appropriate for medium to large dogs—easy for them to grip without being too small or flimsy. Having two ropes in the pack is great for rotation or multi-dog households. The only thing to note is that, like all rope toys, they’re not truly “indestructible.” Very determined power chewers will eventually cause wear over time, so supervision is still recommended. Overall, this is a durable, well-made set of dog rope toys that holds up well for aggressive chewers and provides great value for the price.

Fun For Your Dog
My Dachshund loves tug of war ropes. Besides playing with them, he likes to chew on them. Maybe these ropes are indestructible with large dogs, but we've had them less than a week and he's already managed to fray knots slightly on both ropes. If it takes him 2+ years to destroy them like his last one, money well spent.

Great value item!
This is a good quality chew toy for most dogs. Our Pitt loves it. Over time, it does shred in little patches of strings. The product was as specified. It has a great value for the money. Our first one lasted about 2 months with a puppy Pitt. We purchased a 2nd.

Well made and durable fun!
Great size for big dogs and are really durable even with aggressive chewers. You do have to replace them when they start to unravel but the set of 2 is great and gives an extra!! But really they last a lot longer than I’d thought. Very happy!
