{"product_id":"9781481445337","title":"The Good Dog","description":"In the Colorado mountain town of Steamboat Springs there must be three hundred dogs. \u003cbr\u003e Jack's malamute, McKinley, is the leader of them all. But Jack, being human, has no way of knowing that. For him, his family's dog is just a great pal. And protector. \u003cbr\u003e Jack cannot know that Redburn, a \"leash-licking\" Irish setter, is McKinley's rival for the job of head dog. The boy cannot know, with the sudden hillside appearance of a she-wolf, Lupin, that not only McKinley's job -- but his \u003ci\u003elife --\u003c\/i\u003e is in danger. Lupin's message: Dogs free yourselves from mankind. Come join us, we who need you to replenish our diminishing wolf pack in the wild. \u003cbr\u003e But imagine how a good dog, loyal to his human pup, would hear Lupin's call! \u003cbr\u003e McKinley's thrilling story tells itself, as first he and the boy together encounter Lupin in a canyon perfect for an old-time ambush, and later as they try to save her from both Redburn and a neighbor, a vicious man armed with a gun and a grudge. No one -- not even McKinley -- can foresee the end.","brand":"Atheneum Books for Young Readers","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":47130059145456,"sku":"9781481445337","price":8.99,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0737\/7593\/9824\/files\/9781481445337_p0.jpg?v=1763622008","url":"https:\/\/shop-qa.barnesandnoble.com\/products\/9781481445337","provider":"Barnes \u0026 Noble (DEV)","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
