{"product_id":"2940013313248","title":"My Doggie And I","description":"CHAPTER ONE.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eEXPLAINS ITSELF.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eI possess a doggie--not a dog, observe, but a doggie.  If he had been a\u003cbr\u003edog I would not have presumed to intrude him on your notice.  A dog is\u003cbr\u003eall very well in his way--one of the noblest of animals, I admit, and\u003cbr\u003epre-eminently fitted to be the companion of man, for he has an\u003cbr\u003eaffectionate nature, which man demands, and a forgiving disposition,\u003cbr\u003ewhich man needs--but a dog, with all his noble qualities, is not to be\u003cbr\u003ecompared to a doggie.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eMy doggie is unquestionably the most charming, and, in every way,\u003cbr\u003edelightful doggie that ever was born.  My sister has a baby, about which\u003cbr\u003eshe raves in somewhat similar terms, but of course that is ridiculous,\u003cbr\u003efor her baby differs in no particular from ordinary babies, except,\u003cbr\u003eperhaps, in the matter of violent weeping, of which it is fond; whereas\u003cbr\u003emy doggie is unique, a perfectly beautiful and singular specimen of--of\u003cbr\u003ewell, I won't say what, because my friends usually laugh at me when I\u003cbr\u003esay it, and I don't like to be laughed at.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eFreely admit that you don't at once perceive the finer qualities, either\u003cbr\u003emental or physical, of my doggie, partly owing to the circumstance that\u003cbr\u003ehe is shapeless and hairy.  The former quality is not prepossessing,\u003cbr\u003ewhile the latter tends to veil the amiable expression of his countenance\u003cbr\u003eand the lustre of his speaking eyes.  But as you come to know him he\u003cbr\u003egrows upon you; your feelings are touched, your affections stirred, and\u003cbr\u003eyour love is finally evoked.  As he resembles a door-mat, or rather a\u003cbr\u003escrap of very ragged door-mat, and has an amiable spirit, I have called\u003cbr\u003ehim \"Dumps.\"  I should not be surprised if you did not perceive any\u003cbr\u003econnection here.  You are not the first who has failed to see it; I\u003cbr\u003enever saw it myself.","brand":"SAP","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":47082680615152,"sku":"2940013313248","price":0.99,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0737\/7593\/9824\/files\/2940013313248_p0.jpg?v=1763579741","url":"https:\/\/shop-qa.barnesandnoble.com\/products\/2940013313248","provider":"Barnes \u0026 Noble (DEV)","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
