BUT, you can control how easy or hard it is for the food to come out by sliding the built-in weight so that it's various distances from the hole itself. When the weight is on the opposite side of the toy, it's MUCH HARDER for dogs to tip the Tumbler ball enough that the food comes out.

*As the Mom of dogs and the Cool Aunt to scads of kids (now mostly grown), I don't read a lot of books for kids, but I'm a sucker for Santa and dogs and great illustrations. Santa's Dog, written by JoAnn Sky and illustrated by Ed Koehler, satisfies on so many levels:Exciting plot about what happens when one of Santa's dogs falls out of the sleighMaybe kids are braver than I am because the book totally makes me cry. One of the characters in the book serves in the military, so if you have military families on your gift list, they might especially like Santa's Dog. Thanks, again, to Dogs & Books (read, rescue, repeat) for giving me the chance to review Santa's Dog.

I also understand that everyone who became emotionally invested in the search and the unfolding story wants to know the details of how Nellie's family finally rescued her. While it's often true in my life as a journalist that the story is not mine, the loss and rescue of Nellie isn't my story to tell because:The nearly 21-day ordeal was traumatic for her and her family. I invited Nellie's mom to write The Story that is her story to tell -- either here or for a wider audience. If and when she is ready, I look forward to seeing how she tells the parts I know and the parts I don't know about the nearly 21 days Nellie was lost.
