Description:
Nobel Laureate Peter Doherty offers a level-headed guide to all aspects of pandemics-what they are, how they spread, and what we can do to prevent them.Pandemics. The word conjures up images of horrific diseases sweeping the globe and killing everyone in their path. But such highly lethal illnesses almost never create pandemics. The reality is deadly serious but far more subtle.In Pandemics, Peter Doherty, who won the Nobel Prize for his work on how the immune system recognizes virus-infected cells, offers an essential guide to one of the truly life-or-death issues of our age. In concise, question-and-answer format, he explains the causes of pandemics, how they can be counteracted with vaccines and drugs, and how we can better prepare for them in the future. Doherty notes that the term "pandemic" refers not to a disease's severity but to its ability to spread rapidly over a wide geographical area. Extremely lethal pathogens are usually quickly identified and confined. Nevertheless, the rise of high-speed transportation networks and the globalization of trade and travel have radically accelerated the spread of diseases. A traveler from Africa arrived in New York in 1999 carrying the West Nile virus; one mosquito bite later, it was loose in the ecosystem. Doherty explains how the main threat of a pandemic comes from respiratory viruses, such as influenza and SARS, which disseminate with incredible speed through air travel. The climate disruptions of global warming, rising population density, and growing antibiotic resistance all complicate efforts to control pandemics. But Doherty stresses that pandemics can be fought effectively. Often s

Sturdy ball with pump
Color: Black/White, Size: Medium
Thick material so it won't pop so easy. Comes with a hand pump and 2 ball needles. Tabs for the dog to carry in his mouth. Although my dog bites the whole thing to carry. Savage loves it!

Exactly What I Needed to Build Drive in My GSD Puppy!
This Coachi Tuggi Hide is exactly what I was searching for to help build drive in my little German Shepherd pup. The fact that I can tuck treats into the pocket and use it for a tug game? Genius.
Let’s talk about that stretchy bungee handle – wow. It adds just the right amount of give and makes it easier on both of us during play. Plus, the padded handle is honestly one of my favorite features. I can play longer without discomfort, and the padding is legit comfortable.
It’s super sturdy and ridiculously durable. I know I said “durable” like three times, but seriously—it deserves it. It’s also super soft, which is great for a teething puppy. The treat pocket is a great idea, though I will say it took me a minute to find it at first. Once I did, I noticed the handle actually runs deep into the toy. That’s great for strength, but do make sure you get all the treats out before storing.
I also love the blue color, and the size is perfect for tugging and engaging a puppy. One small design tweak I’d suggest? Making the treat pocket a little longer or adjusting that hook-and-loop closure—it’s a bit short for how deep the pocket goes.
That said, this toy is a total win. It’s a training tool, not a chew toy, so I don’t leave it out unsupervised. When we use it together, it’s pure gold. My puppy loves it, I love it, and our training sessions are so much more fun now.

Good value and quality.
Style: Tuggi Hide
Great for sports dog and building drive. This isn’t a chew toy to let a dog shred. I have big dogs that love to tug, and this has held up to a huge amount of use with high drivey dogs.

Good quality! Great reward for my search and rescue dogs!
Style: Tuggi Ball
My dogs love this! The bungee makes it easier on my shoulder and my dog enjoys it a lot. Super lightweight which is important for taking it on searches. Holds up to my intense working dog’s tug sessions
*note that it is an interactive toy not a chew toy. Probably wouldn’t last long if you just give it to them to play on their own but perfect for a good game of tug

Fun for a short while
Style: Chase & Crinkle, Style: Chase & Crinkle
4 month old GSD puppy loved this toy but it did not last long before getting a whole in the crinkle part. I even limited the amount of play my dog had with it so I could increase the value of the toy to use it for distractions.
