{"product_id":"dog-year-book-jon-katz-9780375502972","title":"A Dog Year","description":"\u003ci\u003e\u003cb\u003eChange loves me, defines and stalks me like a laser-guided smart bomb. It comes at me in all forms, suddenly and with enormous impact, from making shifts in work to having and raising a kid to buying a cabin on a distant mountaintop. Sometimes, change comes on four legs. \u003c\/b\u003e\u003c\/i\u003e \u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003eIn his popular and widely praised \u003ci\u003eRunning to the Mountain\u003c\/i\u003e, Jon Katz wrote of the strength and support he found in the massive forms of his two yellow Labrador retrievers, Julius and Stanley. When the Labs were six and seven, a breeder who'd read his book contacted Katz to say she had a dog that was meant for him--a two-year-old border collie named Devon, well bred but high-strung and homeless. Katz already had a full canine complement, but instinct overruled reason, and soon thereafter he brought Devon home. \u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ci\u003eA Dog Year: Twelve Months, Four Dogs, and Me\u003c\/i\u003e is the story of how Devon and Jon--and Julius and Stanley--came to terms with each other. It shows how a man discovered a lot about himself through one dog (and then another) whose temperament seemed as different from his own as day is from night. It is a story of trust and understanding, of life and death, of continuity and change. It is by turns insightful, hilarious, and deeply moving.","brand":"WoB","offers":[{"title":"GB \/ VERY_GOOD \/ INTERNAL","offer_id":49657765921041,"sku":"GOR005414538","price":10.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":false},{"title":"US \/ GOOD \/ SBYB","offer_id":50001252057361,"sku":"CIN0375502971G","price":3.88,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true},{"title":"US \/ WELL_READ \/ SBYB","offer_id":50078921556241,"sku":"CIN0375502971A","price":3.68,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0784\/4072\/6801\/files\/0375502971.jpg?v=1751228955","url":"https:\/\/www.worldofbooks.com\/products\/dog-year-book-jon-katz-9780375502972","provider":"World of Books ","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
