Being Grace intends to raise awareness of Scoliosis and shows us the emotional consequences of the condition through the story of Grace, a young giraffe who is diagnosed at an early age. With her curved neck, Grace finds herself bullied at school because she looks different from the other giraffes. But her crooked neck allows her to do something none of hte other giraffes can do, and she beings to understand that something that may seem wrong can actually be right. Grace learns that all that matters is what she believes, not what other people say. She finds joy in just being herself, and accepts that all she can do is be "Grace."

Scoliosis is an often misunderstood condition, generally relegated to the back of the funding line and mimized to just a "skeletal disorder." Yet, it impacts more than 12 million people in the U.S. alone, about 4.5% of the population, with 500 more being diagnosed each day. What used to be a condition mainly of young white girls, now impacts people of both genders and all ethnic backgrounds and ages. Billions of dollars are spent each year on patient treatments (more than $3 billion), but very little is being done to discover a cause or a cure. More than 8,000 patients who underwent Scoliosis surgery in their youth become permanently disabled each year, with a 14-year reduction in life expectancy.

While the physical effects of Scoliosis are complex and can be difficult and painful to manage, so are the emotional aspects. It creates a deformity, an imperfection, in a world that praises beauty and expects our youth to be perfect. What makes it more difficult is that the outward symptoms of the condition (the curved spine) begin to emerge in young girls and boys at a time when physical appearance can greatly impact self-esteem.

Being Grace can help these young children to understand the condition and have compassion for themselves and others who are different. Just like Grace, they can discover self-acceptance and realize that perfect comes in all shapes, sizes and colors -- even crooked.

Great quality and long lasting
Size: 5.5 Ounce (Pack of 1)
My dog loves these, and I feel good giving them to her. They last a very long time. They don't have any odor whatsoever. She chews them aggressively, but they don't leave as much slobber or goo as some other chewables. They are pricey, but if you just bring them out for a special treat, they will last longer. I bring it out when we're having dinner, and I don't want her to bother us! When she gets it down to a nub, I stuff it inside one of her puzzle toys and she is still very interested in it because I guess to her it must really smell great even though I can't smell anything at all. So she will try to dig it out of the puzzle toy and spend lots of time doing that, so I feel like that gives some extra value.

My dog likes this brand
Size: 5.5 Ounce (Pack of 1)
This is the only brand of Himalayan chew that my dog likes. I’ve heard other brands come with an off smell but I’ve never noticed a bad smell with this one. This is the same version they sell at Whole Foods so I trust that the ingredients are good quality. My dog loves to chip away at this thing and it makes a huge mess but I deal with it to make him happy.

Best chew toy I’ve ordered
Size: 5.5 Ounce (Pack of 1)
My dog usually destroys chew toys in 30mins or less he has been chewing on this toy non stop the past 4 hours. He hasn’t conquered it yet and that’s great for us as it allows us to get things accomplished while he’s occupied. I will definitely order another one after he eventually breaks this down

Great quality, dogs loved them
Size: 5.5 Ounce (Pack of 1)
I didn't know what my dogs would think of the Yak cheese but they loved it. I later tried another brand but it was splintering easily. This one kept a nice solid texture the whole time the dogs were enjoying it. Would definitely recommend.

Not good for sensitive tummies or IBD
Size: 5.5 Ounce (Pack of 1)
Unfortunately my shepherd got bad diarrhea even with just half one. But the product smells really good. Like a nice Smoky flavor. I used to feed to my little poodle girl who had lots of allergies and sensitivities and very small amounts occasionally. But unfortunately my GSD can't handle much of anything so I don't hold it against the product, but if you have a very sensitive tummy dog, give a small amount in the beginning to try.
