{"product_id":"2940149387755","title":"Our Dachshund Sophie","description":"The Thomas’ dog, Sophie, is one of countless dogs that has been touched by intervertebral disc disease (IVDD). This disease, which is common in the dachshund breed, often leaves dogs partially or completely paralyzed.\u003cbr\u003e \u003cbr\u003eIn Sophie’s case, surgery was unable to save her spinal cord from the irreversible injury caused by IVDD. The Thomas family had no idea what to expect from their newly paralyzed pet, but they quickly discovered that life with Sophie could remain fulfilling and fun. As Sophie accepted her injury and adjusted to her new situation, her “mom,” Abby, followed her lead. The pair’s bond strengthened, and Abby’s entire perspective transformed as Sophie led her to a deeper understanding of herself and of life in general.\u003cbr\u003e \u003cbr\u003eOur Dachshund Sophie is an emotional, spiritual, and inspirational journey chronicling one dog’s experience with IVDD and one human’s discovery of how the human-canine bond can help us to face challenges and draw from them a deeper understanding of oneself and of the important things in life.\u003cbr\u003e","brand":"Abby Thomas","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":47075637166320,"sku":"2940149387755","price":7.99,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0737\/7593\/9824\/files\/2940149387755_p0.jpg?v=1763716584","url":"https:\/\/shop-qa.barnesandnoble.com\/products\/2940149387755","provider":"Barnes \u0026 Noble (DEV)","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
