{"product_id":"9780812966909","title":"A Dog Year: Twelve Months, Four Dogs, and Me","description":"\u003cp\u003eSometimes, change comes on four legs.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eIn his popular and widely praised \u003cb\u003eRunning to the Mountain\u003c\/b\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, as he writes, “Change loves me. . . . It comes in all forms. . . . Sometimes, change comes on four legs.” Shortly thereafter he brought Devon home. \u003cb\u003eA Dog Year\u003c\/b\u003e shows how a man discovered much about himself through one dog (and then another), whose temperament seemed as different from his own as day 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.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Random House Publishing Group","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":47021674627312,"sku":"9780812966909","price":15.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0737\/7593\/9824\/files\/9780812966909_p0.jpg?v=1763742323","url":"https:\/\/shop-qa.barnesandnoble.com\/products\/9780812966909","provider":"Barnes \u0026 Noble (DEV)","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
