"Fascinating. Doidge's book is a remarkable and hopeful portrait of the endless adaptability of the human brain."--Oliver Sacks, MD, author of The Man Who Mistook His Wife for a Hat

What is neuroplasticity? Is it possible to change your brain? Norman Doidge's inspiring guide to the new brain science explains all of this and more

An astonishing new science called neuroplasticity is overthrowing the centuries-old notion that the human brain is immutable, and proving that it is, in fact, possible to change your brain. Psychoanalyst, Norman Doidge, M.D., traveled the country to meet both the brilliant scientists championing neuroplasticity, its healing powers, and the people whose lives they've transformed--people whose mental limitations, brain damage or brain trauma were seen as unalterable. We see a woman born with half a brain that rewired itself to work as a whole, blind people who learn to see, learning disorders cured, IQs raised, aging brains rejuvenated, stroke patients learning to speak, children with cerebral palsy learning to move with more grace, depression and anxiety disorders successfully treated, and lifelong character traits changed. Using these marvelous stories to probe mysteries of the body, emotion, love, sex, culture, and education, Dr. Doidge has written an immensely moving, inspiring book that will permanently alter the way we look at our brains, human nature, and human potential.

My Pittie loves it
Style: Lobster, Size: One Size
Very well made. Both my dogs were so intruiged by the movement, it wore off quickly but they still get into it from time to time (they have tons of other toys to distract them). my 100 lb Pitt mix was the only one who had a big enough mouth to really get it to work on his own but that didn't stop my 35 lb shar pei mix from chasing him around and trying to grab the tail! It has held up surprisingly well... Have had it for over six months and while it's nasty as heck from slobber it is in one piece.

So Disappointed
Style: Squirrel, Size: One Size, Style: Squirrel, Size: One Size
I purchased this godog interactive toy for my 6-month-old puppies for Christmas. The tail didn't move when I removed it from the package but they were so intrigued by the squeaker I gave it to them anyway. The toy didn't even last for a half hour before they had ripped the tail open and were scattering stuffing everywhere. The same thing happened with the leg of the chicken, the tail of the lobster and the wing of the duck. They were all poor quality and couldn't withstand normal puppy play. Additionally, the tip of the squeaker came off and my little dog swallowed it! I have a godog Llama that survived 2 years with a red-tick coon hound who could chew her way through a wall. The pups have been playing with it since they came home four months ago. It's a bit raggedy and the squeaker honks now, but it's still intact and keeps them entertained. That's the same quality I expected when I ordered these toys. That is why I'm so disappointed. Sadly, the $5 toys i purchased are still in one piece and still being played and snuggled with.

Was so hopeful!
Style: Lobster, Size: One Size, Style: Lobster, Size: One Size
My dog Dax is like a big German Shepherd trapped in a little Chawinnie. he’s only one and loves to chew on stuffed toys like this. I was excited to try this brand out because it looked very promising. Unfortunately only lasted a little over 48 hours and he was able to gutt it out & rip off the eyes. He really loved it though, it has a different sounding squeaker and when he bit it the tail would flop up/down, I also like that the squeaker part was right in the middle which made it hard for him to get to it since his mouth is small.. despite that he was still able too. The size was perfect for him though so I’ll probably sew it up and give ir back to him then order another one. Giving 4 stars because it’s well made can’t help that my dogs ferocious!

My fur baby loves this toy.
Style: Lobster, Size: One Size
This toy works for my fur baby because she is a small Shih Tzu and not a rough chewer. It has lasted and has proved durable for her but may not be appropriate for an aggressive chewer or for a large fur baby. Because it is made of soft cloth I would not recommend for teething. Otherwise, I found this toy to be reasonably priced and one my fur baby loves to play with.
