Born into a poor family in Ecuador, Pancho Segura was an undersized and undernourished kid working as a ball boy at an exclusive tennis club when he first picked up a racket. Little Pancho is the story of how this improbable athlete, with his bandy legs, infectious smile, and unorthodox two-handed style of play, became one of the greatest and most beloved tennis players of all time. During his twenty years in pro tennis, general audiences appreciated his spirit as a master entertainer, while tennis fans adored him. Drawing on interviews with many in the game who knew or admired Pancho, Caroline Seebohm provides a close-up picture of the unlikely pro as his career first emerged in Ecuador and then developed further in the United States during the 1940s, where he broke down social and political prejudices with his charm, naturalness, and brilliance on the court. Little Pancho follows Segura from the University of Miami, where he won three consecutive NCAA championships (still a record), to his time on the U.S. professional tennis tour. On the pro tour of that time, Segura and his fellow players struggled to earn a living and find acceptance in the traditional, sometimes elitist tennis world, which scorned "professionals" as outcasts. Little Pancho shows us Segura when he quit the professional tour to become a coach at the Beverly Hills Tennis Club, working with movie stars such as Charlton Heston, Barbra Streisand, and Lauren Bacall. And finally, we hear for the first time from some of the later champions Segura coached, including Jimmy Connors. This history of tennis in the midcentury also is the inspiring story of how one poor Latino kid, through sheer grit, grace, and talent, changed the face of the sport forever.Binding Type: Hardcover

Nice burrow toy for small to med dog
Style: Popcorn Bucket
We like it! He loves to dig into stuff so this is a perfect addition to his other burrow toys. The most compact and only one hole makes it somewhat challenging for him.

a fun toy!
Style: Popcorn Bucket
My dog absolutely loves this toy! I have to repeatedly stuff the pieces back inside so he can pull them out. That being said, if you have a heavy chewer this one will bite the dust pretty quick. It’s cute but not sturdy for chewers.

Perfect for keeping energetic pups busy, mentally stimulated, and happy!
Style: Milk & Cookies
I bought this interactive dog toy to keep my puppy mentally stimulated and it has been a huge hit! At first i was worried she wouldn't understand the concept but once i started squeaking the cookies inside the milk container she couldn't stop poking around until she was able to get all three cookies out. Trying to get the cookies out keeps her entertained but even after she gets them out she loves running around chewing and squeaking on the cookies. The milk container has holes just big enough to make her work a little but not get too frustrated, and the cookies are durable enough for her to keep chewing on without chewing right through them and without her hurting herself on them. Plus cleanup is easy too they wash quickly in warm water. Since the cookies are pretty small they can easily get lost under couches or beds.

My Cattle dog mix loves these!
Style: Popcorn Bucket
For a hyperactive super smart dog, this popcorn puzzle is a great treat! This is her second and she still plays with her first. I'm going to go ahead and probably buy her some other versions of puzzle toys. This is a good one. Buy it.

Needs to sell replacement popcorns
Style: Popcorn Bucket
My dog love this toy however, we have 5 popcorn buckets and only two popcorn balls left. It would be great if there was way to just buy the replacement popcorns. I haven't found them anywhere though.
