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).

Great bone for all dogs!!
I loved this bone! See my use of past tense 😂 I am so sad I bought this for my very destructive yorkie/shitzhu mix and he loved it so much! He was so at peace with it. I am sad to say that after having it for about a week or two it disappeared. I never let my dog go outside with it and I have tore my house to PIECES in search of it. He really misses it, I think I miss it more for him I can only hope this company will be having more available in the near future. This is a great bone for all dogs in my opinion. I managed to get my friends to even buy one for their dogs and the of course are just as pleased. Well until we can purchase another I will leave a great review regardless. Thanks Willie Bones for saving me and my dog

Was skeptical but my pup loves it
My dog is a heavy chewer but normally likes stuffed animals and tasty chews. I’m always trying to find something to occupy him that doesn’t fall apart. I didn’t think he would like a rubber toy but I was wrong. What I like about this bone is that it’s actually a “pretty” toy and it has a big hole through the middle that you can put treats/peanut butter inside. The hole is also good because the toy has a little “give” which makes it easier for my dog to chew on it. And though I can see teeth marks all over the rubber, pup hasn’t managed to destroy it after a week. He even loves to play tug with it. It’s a good quality toy.

Wish their was a smaller size!
We have an 8 lb mini doxie and took a chance on this bone since it's "one size" and there's a dachshund in the logo. It took some warming up to, but our little guy is able to carry this around and chew on it. However, it is pretty dense and heavy material and we definitely would've preferred if there was a smaller size to get for him. I'm scared to throw it for him, because it could really do some damage if it hit him. However, it works as a chew toy in his bed and hasn't shown any signs of wear yet.

Great toy - just not for my Olde English Bulldog
This product is high quality and says "Almost indestructible", so I'm definitely not upset....but it lasted less than 30 minutes with my Olde English Bulldog. I mostly want to leave a comment if other bulldog owners search they'll know it's just not tough enough for their crazy strong chewing. He literally wrecks EVERYTHING but really loves to play and chew on things.

Not Indestructible To My Dog. Do NOT recommend for aggressive chewers
My 11 month old Jack Russell Rat Terrier literally chews EVERYTHING. Finding toys for her other than the very few Kong extreme toys they make has been a real challenge. I bought this bone hoping that it would be atleast somewhat indestructible and that shed be able to chew on it for longer than 5 minutes. Well shes had it for about 15 minutes now and theres already a chunk missing so not to thrilled about that. Hopefully it will last atleast the rest of the day. I gave this product a 3 star review for a few reasons: One I would say this product would be great for a slight to moderate chewer but with my dogs pirana teeth and jaws of steel this bone has been no match for her. My dog chews and chews until theres the smallest piece of toy hanging off or an indent big enough for her to start ripping pieces off so this did not work for her. The product is also made nicely it is thick so no worries about teeth puncturing through it. I also liked that the ends are smooth so no worry of my dog eating it from the holes at the end because shes done tbat with many toys.
