It was a big bestseller when it was originally published in 1969. It became a major motion picture that provided Robert DeNiro with his first film role. Its title has entered into the language as a catch phrase. And it's terrific fun The Gang That Couldn't Shoot Straight is the story of Papa Baccala, a Brooklyn Mafia boss, and Kid Sally Palumbo, a would-be capo who "couldn't run a gas station at a profit even if he stole the customers' cars." There's also Kid Sally's grandmother, who will go to extravagant lengths to see her boy make his mark. A love interest? Sure. Kid Sally's sister tumbles for an artistic type who rides a bicycle and has recently arrived from Calabria... The high adventure begins with a six-day bike race that is only partly responsible for a rash of obituary notices reading: "Died. Suddenly." Eventually it all gets worked out in fine Sicilian fashion -- and, in the end, everybody gets his, in a manner of speaking.Binding Type: Paperback

Cracked Tooth
Update: While I originally loved this product and so did my dogs, I feel the need to update this review. The Dura Chew Nylabones are incredibly hard, which is what makes them last so long. However, one of our dogs did crack a tooth recently from chewing on a Dura Chew. Since then, we have been very hesitant to allow any of our dogs to chew on these as other reviews also state that dogs have cracked teeth. We have since thrown out all of the Dura Chews that we had. We are still using the regular Nylabone products (when they aren't made in China), but once those are gone we will not buy any additional products from Nylabone. We have been buying Whimzees for our dogs for the last two years or so and they are a healthy edible alternative. They do not last as long because they are edible, but I have the peace of mind in knowing that my dogs are safe with them. Another healthy alternative would be antlers, which we also give to our dogs and they usually last a long time.
Original review: Another great Nylabone product. I love that dogs can chew on Nylabone products and they can't pull off pieces like products from other brands (Hartz for example). The Dura Chews are especially great for our hard chewers and they last forever! I love all of the dimples on their chews too, they're great for keeping our dogs' teeth clean. The vet is always impressed when they check their teeth.

Excellent for heavy chewers!
Flavor Name: Beef, Size: Mini
My dog is between 1-2 years old, and is a heavy chewer. So far the Better Bone is lasting very well! He still is chewing away at it! Excellent quality, and I appreciate that there’s no plastic that my dog is consuming.

By far ... the SAFEST and most DURABLE bone for dogs that are hardy chewers!
Flavor Name: Beef, Size: Large
After searching high and low for a NON-TOXIC, DURABLE and truly SAFE dog bone, I finally found the large, beef-flavored, HARD version of the BetterBone for my year-plus-old rescue (Carolina Dog).
1 - it's made of all NATURAL food-grade materials (cellulose from plant cell walls) ... which means no nylon, no GMOs, and no other artificials materials so it doesn't event stain your flooring. My girl loves the tasty beef flavor.
2 - the wishbone DESIGN is genius because it gives her 3 ends to choose from (nubs v raised edges v smooth) and ample ways to stabilize it on the floor with her paws.
3 - it is uber DURABLE in standing up to the hardiest of chewers (my girl gnaws on hers daily and sometimes even multiple 10-minute sessions per day). It works great to clean and reduce tartar on her teeth. The biggest surprise was that it took 6 months for her to gnaw it down to a size that was no longer safe for her (i.e. a potential choking hazard), so I donated it to a lady with tiny dogs at the dog park. At $20 per large bone, it's a good value.
4 - and most importantly, ... it is super SAFE. It degrades in tiny little pieces that could not possibly cause a choking hazard, and being all natural (i.e. no nylon - which most bones do have), there is no worry if she does ingest some of the particles. They vacuum up with ease.
The large bone weighs in at just over 12 ounces so it's kinda' heavy (9.25" long x 5" wide x 2" thick), but my 56 lb girl has no problem picking it up in her mouth before she hops up on the couch with me or into her bed.
Thank you BetterBone for making a superior product that is healthy, safe and fun for my pup!
