{"product_id":"books-a-big-by-dean-koontz","title":"A Big","description":"\u003cp\u003eIn a profound, funny, and beautifully rendered portrait of a beloved companion, bestselling novelist Dean Koontz remembers the golden retriever who changed his life. A retired service dog, Trixie was three when Dean and his wife, Gerda, welcomed her into their home. She was superbly trained, but her greatest gifts couldn't be taught: her keen intelligence, her innate joy, and an uncanny knack for living in the moment. Whether chasing a tennis ball or protecting those she loved, Trixie gave all she had to everything she did, inspiring Dean and Gerda to trust their instincts and recapture a sense of wonder that will remain with them always. Trixie lived fewer than twelve years; in this wide world, she was a little thing. But in every way that mattered, she lived a big life. \u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eA humorous, poignant portrait of  a] remarkable dog. --\u003ci\u003eKirkus Reviews\u003c\/i\u003e \u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eOne dog book that everyone.will deeply enjoy. --\u003ci\u003eBooklist\u003c\/i\u003e (starred review) \u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eA delightful read.an unusually effective brief for the joy that dogs bring us. --\u003ci\u003eThe American Spectator\u003c\/i\u003e \u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eA tender, insightful, loving homage.an inspirational book of love, hope and humor. --Bookreporter.com\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"World of Books ","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":53673645441297,"sku":null,"price":0.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0784\/4072\/6801\/files\/9781401323523.jpg?v=1781527393","url":"https:\/\/www.worldofbooks.com\/products\/books-a-big-by-dean-koontz","provider":"World of Books ","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
