{"product_id":"9780803284913","title":"From the Mouths of Dogs: What Our Pets Teach Us about Life, Death, and Being Human","description":"\u003cp\u003eWhat is it that dogs have done to earn the title of “man’s best friend”? And more broadly, how have all of our furry, feathered, and four-legged brethren managed to enrich our lives? Why do we love them? What can we learn from them? And why is it so difficult to say good-bye? Join B.J. Hollars as he attempts to find out—beginning with an ancient dog cemetery in Ashkelon, Israel, and moving to the present day.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eHollars’s firsthand reports recount a range of stories: the arduous existence of a shelter officer, a woman’s relentless attempt to found a senior-dog adoption facility, a family’s struggle to create a one-of-a-kind orthotic for its bulldog, and the particular bond between a blind woman and her Seeing Eye dog. The book culminates with Hollars’s own cross-country journey to Hartsdale Pet Cemetery—the country’s largest and oldest pet cemetery—to begin the long-overdue process of laying his own childhood dog to rest.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eThrough these stories, Hollars reveals much about our pets but even more about the humans who share their lives, providing a much-needed reminder that the world would be a better place if we took a few cues from man’s best friends.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Nebraska","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":47118422016240,"sku":"9780803284913","price":21.95,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0737\/7593\/9824\/files\/9780803284913_p0.jpg?v=1763667496","url":"https:\/\/shop-qa.barnesandnoble.com\/products\/9780803284913","provider":"Barnes \u0026 Noble (DEV)","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
