The story behind the major motion picture from Disney--starring Chris Pine, Eric Bana, and Casey Affleck--written by a recognized master of the genre--"a blockbuster account of tragedy at sea" (The Providence Journal).

It's the winter of 1952 and a ferocious Nor'easter is pounding New England with howling winds and seventy-foot seas. Two oil tankers get caught in the violent storm off Cape Cod, its fury splitting the massive ships in two. Back on shore are four young Coast Guardsmen who are given a suicide mission. They must save the lives of the seamen left stranded in the killer storm, and they have to do it in a tiny lifeboat. The crew is led by Bernie Webber, who has to rely on prayer and the courage of his three crewmembers to pull off the impossible. As Webber and his crew sail into the teeth of the storm, each man comes to the realization that he may not come back alive. They've lost all navigation and have no idea where the stranded seaman are, and have no idea how to get back home. Whether by sheer luck or divine intervention, the crew stumbles upon the wounded ship in the darkness. More than thirty men appear at the railings of the SS Pendleton, all hoping to be saved. Once again, Webber and his crew face a daunting challenge. How can they rescue all these men with their tiny lifeboat?

Dripping with suspense and high-stakes human drama, The Finest Hours has incredible and astonishing true-to-life heroism and action-packed rescue scenes. This "marvelous and terrifying yarn" (Los Angeles Times) "deserves a place as a classic of survival at sea" (The Boston Globe).

Best chew toy
Size: Medium (Pack of 1)
Kong toys are the best. They hold up through the heavy chewing stage. Definitely recommend if you have a heavy chewer.

Not for aggressive chewers
Size: Medium (Pack of 1)
My dog absolutely loved this Kong Goodie Bone at first and was super excited about it. Unfortunately, it didn’t hold up nearly as long as I expected. Within just a few hours she had already torn pieces off of it, and I ended up finding little red rubber pieces all over the house. I wouldn’t recommend this for aggressive chewers at all. It may work better for lighter chewers or dogs that are gentler with toys, but mine destroyed it way too quickly. Disappointing because she really did enjoy it while it lasted.

Very stable for my standard poodle. He loves the red Kong ball more because he loves to toss it himself
