NATIONAL BESTSELLERNow a major motion picture starring Paul Rudd "A delightful book that recounts one of the strangest episodes in the history of espionage. . . . . Relentlessly entertaining."--The New York Times Book Review Moe Berg is the only major-league baseball player whose baseball card is on display at the headquarters of the CIA. For Berg was much more than a third-string catcher who played on several major league teams between 1923 and 1939. Educated at Princeton and the Sorbonne, he as reputed to speak a dozen languages (although it was also said he couldn't hit in any of them) and went on to become an OSS spy in Europe during World War II. As Nicholas Dawidoff follows Berg from his claustrophobic childhood through his glamorous (though equivocal) careers in sports and espionage and into the long, nomadic years during which he lived on the hospitality of such scattered acquaintances as Joe DiMaggio and Albert Einstein, he succeeds not only in establishing where Berg went, but who he was beneath his layers of carefully constructed cover. As engrossing as a novel by John le Carr , The Catcher Was a Spy is a triumphant work of historical and psychological detection.

My dogs favorite toy so far in two years
Color: C) 4" 2-Pack (Bacon)
I use this with my medium sized dog. These are large for him but that's what I want so I don't ever have to think about them being too small or a swallow hazard. He has been through A LOT OF TOYS in the last couple years, but nothing, NOTHING has he loved as much as these.
His favorite used to be squeaker balls. Then his favorite was crackle balls. But he will gladly ignore both for this one. I don't know if it's the bacon flavor or what, but he go nuts for it.

Works well, tough
Held the bully stick firmly for my crazy aggressive pit bull lab mix. It's very heavy though. When she starts throwing it around you can really hear it. She also hasn't destroyed it. Worth the money.

It absolutely holds a bully or collagen sticks in place!
This actually works! I was skeptical that it could hold a treat but it does hold my Aussies collagen sticks in place so he doesn’t just try to swallow them. It is pretty heavy too.

Solid Build, But Not German Shepherd-Proof
I bought this bully stick holder for my German Shepherd, who is an aggressive chewer and has a talent for demolishing toys in minutes. The design is sturdy, and the material feels genuinely heavy-duty — no issues with cracks or breakage so far.
However, the biggest problem I’ve run into is that the bully stick doesn’t always stay securely in place. My dog is strong and smart, and within a few minutes, he can twist or yank the stick loose and start chomping on the whole thing, which defeats the safety purpose. I’ve tried adjusting how I insert the stick, but it doesn’t always hold firm, especially with thinner bully sticks.
That said, it does work better with thicker, straight sticks, so I’d recommend it if your pup isn’t quite as determined (or stubborn!) as mine. I still use it under supervision, and it slows him down a bit, but I was hoping for a more secure grip.
Great idea and solid quality — just wish it was more GSD-proof.
