By: Lee Stringer     
A New York Times Notable Book

Whether Lee Stringer is describing "God's corner" as he calls 42nd Street, or his friend Suzy, a hooker and "past due tourist" whose infant child he sometimes babysits, whether he is recounting his experiences at Street News, where he began hawking the newspaper for a living wage, then wrote articles, and served for a time as muckraking senior editor, whether it is his adventures in New York's infamous Tombs jail, or performing community service, or sleeping in the tunnels below Grand Central Station by night and collecting cans by day, this is a book rich with small acts of kindness, humor and even heroism alongside the expected violence and desperation of life on the street. There is always room, Stringer writes, "amid the costume" jewel glitter...for one more diamond in the rough."
Two events rise over Grand Central Winter like sentinels: Stringer's discovery of crack cocaine and his catching the writing bug. Between these two very different yet oddly similar activities, Lee's life unwound itself, during the 1980s, and took the shape of an odyssey, an epic struggle to find meaning and happiness in arid times. He eventually beat the first addiction with help from a treatment program. The second addiction, writing, has hold of him still.
Among the many accomplishments of this book is that Stringer is able to convey something of the vitality and complexity of a down—and—out life. The reader walks away from it humming its melody, one that is more wise than despairing, less about the shame we feel when confronted with a picture of those less fortunate, and more about the joy we feel when we experience our shared humanity.

Not For Medium to large dogs!
Color: Navy Blue, Color: Navy Blue
You should know that if you have a medium sized dog this toy is not for you, Although it is listed as indestructible, the toy did not last one day. The ears were torn off before the first day and stuffing was ripped out of it before the second day! However, he really loves the toy but it's not indestructible. All in all though the product should be recommended for small dogs but still I realize that I'll probably be buying another one in the next 3 to 5 days.

Not worth it, not indestructible
Color: Auburn, Color: Auburn
I'm giving no stars, thought this toy would last longer than 10 mins with my dog. Guess not, it says indestructible in the details but as you can tell that's a total lie. Not worth the money at all.

Our little 14 pound pomski loved this when I brought it home, but this is no indestructible. He has ripped the ropes apart.

Not for extremely aggressive chewers
Color: Auburn
I am sure this product is excellent for a small.puppy. I have a 8month huge German Shepard husky mix he had the arms and legs in shreds in less then 15 min and working on the body. If you have a large to extra large aggressive chewer this toy won't work for your dog. Other dogs yes 5 stars

Immediate yes, worth it!
Color: Auburn
My dog LOVES this toy. There’s ropes, different noises, tough canvas, this toy has it all! So so durable which is rare for dog toys. Super cute neutral colored toy for esthetics. Great size for tug of war or for my dog toys whip around, her personal favorite!
