{"product_id":"9781429979504","title":"Through Cougar's Eyes: Life Lessons From One Man's Best Friend","description":"\u003cp\u003eDavid Raber first saw Cougar when the mountain lion was an eight-week-old kitten on display, locked up in a toaster-size cage and poked and prodded by a crowd. Raber took him out, held him, and just couldn't put him back. He made four promises that day: one, no more petting, out of respect for Cougar; two, no more cages; three, he would educate the public against exotic-animal ownership; and four, he would make Cougar happy, and this has become a twenty-four-hours-a-day learning process and a duty that he adores.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eBeing the only large cat in the country who is federally licensed without a cage, Cougar strides down streets, roams hotel lobbies, enters competitions, and even films a Puma Sportswear ad with several Olympic gold medalists. As the official poster model for the Iams pet food company, Cougar has been seen by millions. Together, Raber and Cougar are a team, and in this book, Raber recounts their many adventures: He teaches Cougar about elevators, switches, and doors while saving him from bullets and speeding cars; and Cougar teaches him about deer, opossum, and squirrels while rescuing him from alligators and raging rivers. In helping each other, they share their weaknesses and become strong.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eBeautiful and touching, entertaining and provocative, \u003ci\u003eThrough Cougar's Eyes\u003c\/i\u003e is a love story that dispels the prevalent and presumptuous thinking that mankind and wildlife can't get along. This true story depicts sacrifice and dedication with a message: relating well to animals can set you both free.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"St. Martin's Press","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":47133962043632,"sku":"9781429979504","price":7.99,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0737\/7593\/9824\/files\/9781429979504_p0.jpg?v=1769903382","url":"https:\/\/shop-qa.barnesandnoble.com\/products\/9781429979504","provider":"Barnes \u0026 Noble (DEV)","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
