Thumbs-Up Dog Toy

$20

Isn't it about time someone fused the worlds of dog toys and ancient art? The Chinese discovered the terra cotta soldiers—a circa 210 B.C. collection of 8,000 ceramic figures buried in Emperor Qin Shi Huang's tomb—in 1974. For this Christmas 2009, you can buy a squeaky rubber chew toy inspired by the ancient warriors. About 12 inches high, the toy works for dogs both small and large, who would probably rather play with it than bury it.
