Your time is limited. . . . have the courage to follow your heart and intuition. --Steve Jobs From the start, his path was never predictable. Steve Jobs was given up for adoption at birth, dropped out of college after one semester, and at the age of twenty, created Apple in his parents' garage with his friend Steve Wozniack. Then came the core and hallmark of his genius--his exacting moderation for perfection, his counterculture life approach, and his level of taste and style that pushed all boundaries. A devoted husband, father, and Buddhist, he battled cancer for over a decade, became the ultimate CEO, and made the world want every product he touched, from the Macintosh to the iPhone, from iTunes and the iPod to the Macbook. Critically acclaimed author Karen Blumenthal takes us to the core of this complicated and legendary man while simultaneously exploring the evolution of computers. Framed by Jobs' inspirational Stanford commencement speech and illustrated throughout with black and white photos, this is the story of the man who changed our world.

Great for tough chewers!
Color: carrot orange
This is awesome for my 85# Labrador. He is very destructive with toys and this has held up great. After months of playing with it, only teeth marks on it. Worth every penny. The green top crinkles which my dog loves.

My dog was obsessed with these
Color: carrot orange
Bought these for my dog and they were an instant hit. The carrot shape is cute, but more importantly they kept my dog entertained for quite a while. The squeaker still works and the toy has held up better than I expected considering how rough my dog can be with toys.
I always expect squeaky toys to be destroyed within a day or two, but these have lasted surprisingly well. They're lightweight, easy for my dog to carry around, and have become one of the toys that gets picked out of the basket the most.
If your dog enjoys squeaky toys, these are definitely worth a try.

Good one.
Color: carrot orange
Our Lab loved it. Nice and sturdy apart from the leaves, which were short lived. Overall a good toy for a big boy.

Fun for retrieving and chewing.
Color: carrot orange
My lab loves this carrot, and uses it to retrieve and is not easily destroyed. However, he was able to pull off the leaves the first day. It’s still functional, just know they’re gonna come off if you have a chewer. Purchased based of recommendations for indestructible toys.

Great
Color: carrot orange
The greenery came off very quickly after a few chews but the orange rubber material, my pup really enjoys. It feels good on her teeth and she will just chew on it for hours.
