Maupassant's second novel, Bel-Ami (1885) is the story of a ruthlessly ambitious young man (Georges Duroy, christened "Bel-Ami" by his female admirers) making it to the top in fin-de-sihcle Paris. It is a novel about money, sex, and power, set against the background of the politics of the French colonization of North Africa. It explores the dynamics of an urban society uncomfortably close to our own and is a devastating satire of the sleaziness of contemporary journalism.Bel-Ami enjoys the status of an authentic record of the apotheosis of bourgeois capitalism under the Third Republic. But the creative tension between its analysis of modern behavior and its identifiably late nineteenth-century fabric is one of the reasons why Bel-Ami remains one of the finest French novels of its time, as well as being recognized as Maupassant's greatest achievement as a novelist.

It absolutely holds a bully or collagen sticks in place!
This actually works! I was skeptical that it could hold a treat but it does hold my Aussies collagen sticks in place so he doesn’t just try to swallow them. It is pretty heavy too.

Solid Build, But Not German Shepherd-Proof
I bought this bully stick holder for my German Shepherd, who is an aggressive chewer and has a talent for demolishing toys in minutes. The design is sturdy, and the material feels genuinely heavy-duty — no issues with cracks or breakage so far.
However, the biggest problem I’ve run into is that the bully stick doesn’t always stay securely in place. My dog is strong and smart, and within a few minutes, he can twist or yank the stick loose and start chomping on the whole thing, which defeats the safety purpose. I’ve tried adjusting how I insert the stick, but it doesn’t always hold firm, especially with thinner bully sticks.
That said, it does work better with thicker, straight sticks, so I’d recommend it if your pup isn’t quite as determined (or stubborn!) as mine. I still use it under supervision, and it slows him down a bit, but I was hoping for a more secure grip.
Great idea and solid quality — just wish it was more GSD-proof.

Where has this been all our pup's life!?!
WOW, I never even knew something like this existed! As a very loving Mini-Aussi mama I have just been holding those super stinky bully sticks for our pup every time she wants to chew on them for the last 4 years! And I'll admit sometimes if I don't want to hold them that means she doesn't get that kind of treat. And once they get too short to hold, probably about 5-6" I have to throw them out because it just doesn't work well for either of us (or for my fingers which my sweet girl would never mean to bite but sometimes are way to close to the gnawing drooling action for either of our comfort!) This solution is ideal!! The shark twist locks in the stump (or any length bully stick) super tight so that she won't get it to the last tiny end bit to choke on it, but I can still untwist it with just a bit of muscle to get out the last bit once she is done - and she can't. The rubber is very strong and she hasn't damaged it at all even with her strong chewing, clawing and pulling. It's strong/tough enough that it's not a rubber she seems to wants to chew and she stays focused on the bully stick. And I've paid close attention to take it away once she has it down to the point of not having any more bully stick exposed to chew, which does result in some pouting, but it also makes the next time this toy come out all the more fun.
She's got great leverage to hold on to the bully stick herself using this holder where she had no leverage before (or used her claw into my hand or my arm as leverage) and it allows her to sit and chew on it next to us calmly, without us being actively involved with holding it for her. We still watch her closely while using it for her own safety, like many things-I don't think I would leave her alone with it if I left the house, but that is probably just me being over-protective.
For me this is the food toy find of the year!!! She absolutely loves it and is excited EVERY time I get it out for her to play with. Great product - thank you so much for making something that is made so well and is so study and robust!! Well worth the investment!!!

Very durable
This bully stick holder is a game-changer! It keeps my dog safe while enjoying their treat, and I don't have to worry about them swallowing the end piece. Durable, easy to clean, and worth every penny!
