In the first volume of the Barrytown Trilogy, Roddy Doyle, winner of the Booker Prize for Paddy Clarke Ha Ha Ha, introduces The Commitments, a group of fame-starved, working-class Irish youths with a paradoxical passion for the music of Sam Cooke and Otis Redding and a mission--to bring Soul to Dublin. Doyle writes about the band with a fan's enthusiasm and about Dublin with a native's cheerful knowingness. His book captures all the shadings of the rock experience: ambition, greed, and egotism--ans the redeeming, exhilarating joy of making music. The Commitments is one of the most engaging and believable novels about rock'n'roll ever written, a book whose brashness and originality have won it mainstream acclaim and underground cachet.

My Dogs Loved Them!
Color: Purple
My dogs loved these for playing fetch. They seem heavier duty than previous ones I have had. Beware of the incoming constant squeak sounds if your pup gets really into chewing it.

Shockingly, good ball!
Color: Purple, Color: Purple
I have a Doberman. She is a ball and toy destroyer. She is the most obsessive retriever I’ve ever had. Her retrieving urge, and indefatigability, puts my golden retriever to shame. Because of this, we throw the ball all the time. She is primarily an indoor dog and we have to exhaust her energy and so throwing the ball is how this is done. I got these balls in an effort to try to find something that would last longer than a few days. I have now had these 2 balls for six weeks. They are both still alive! It literally blows my mind. When I bought them, we took bets on how long they would last. I gave it a week. I lost my bet. I got the extra large size. It’s perfect for the giant jaw span of a full grown Doberman. It squeaks, which is irritating to us, but what she loves. She can lay there and chew on it and still not destroy it. They’re very heavy ball and bounce, so you have to be careful throwing it in the house cause you could hurt breakables. Whoever said that these feel like they came from the dollar tree must have been talking about something else. They are thick and sturdy balls. UPDATE: it has now been THREE MONTHS and our Doberman STILL has not destroyed these 2 balls. We play with them many times each day. WORTH EVERY PENNY ADDITIONAL UPDATE: it’s now been nine months. Took this photo this morning. We still have the balls and have since ordered two more. She chews on it multiple times every day. There’s a little hole in it now and it doesn’t squeak anymore but it’s 98% intact and still essentially indestructible. These balls are worth gold.

The dog loves 'em
Color: Blue
The dog loves the balls, and they're the right size for my German Shepherd. Lost a couple of starts because they're not very durable, the "teeth" are easily broken off, so I am frequently finding "lost teeth" across the house; the squeakers also cannot hold up to my dog's aggressive chewing. I would still buy them again, as like I said, my dog love 'em!

Dogs love them!
Color: 3 Colors
Dogs love them! Larger than your average tennis balls, satisfying for my dogs to chew on, the squeak isn't too annoying, colorful enough I can find them in the bushes.

Great product at a great price
Color: 3 Colors
I bought these for my heeler/border collie mix. She destroys every toy almost immediately. They are her favorite toys and plays with them daily. They are still in great shape after 4 months. They have a squeaker, but it is not one of the obnoxious loud ones.
