{"product_id":"small-furry-hope-book-steven-kotler-9781408810958","title":"A Small Furry Hope","description":"Steven Kotler was forty years old, single, and facing an existential crisis when he met Lila, a woman devoted to animal rescue. \"Love me, love my dogs,\" was her rule, and Steven took it to heart. Spurred to move by a housing crisis in Los Angeles, Steven, Lila - and their eight dogs, then ten, then twenty, and then they lost count - bought a postage-stamp-sized farm in Chimayo, New Mexico. A Small Furry Hope chronicles their adventures at Rancho de Chihuahua, the sanctuary they created for their pack with special needs: the very old, the very sick, and, as Kotler says, \"the really retarded.\"   An insider look at the culture of dog rescue, A Small Furry Prayer weaves personal experience, and scientific inquiry into a fast-paced, fun-filled narrative that explores what it means to devote one's life to the furry and the four-legged. Along the way, Kotler combs through every aspect of canine-human relations, from long human history with dogs to brand new research into the neuroscience of canine companionship, in the end discovering why living in a world made of dog may be the best way to uncover the truth about what it really means to be human.","brand":"WoB","offers":[{"title":"GB \/ VERY_GOOD \/ INTERNAL","offer_id":49540819190033,"sku":"GOR003609796","price":10.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0784\/4072\/6801\/files\/1408810956.jpg?v=1751436471","url":"https:\/\/www.worldofbooks.com\/products\/small-furry-hope-book-steven-kotler-9781408810958","provider":"World of Books ","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
