{"product_id":"9781543909036","title":"The Obedience Lessons: An Uncommon Tale of Spiritual Healing","description":"A visitor’s arrived at my father’s house.  He’s temperamental, rebellious, ill-behaved,  and in short, making a mess of things.  And no, it's not the dog causing the problems.  Unemployed, estranged from my family and on the verge of a complete breakdown, I agreed to stay with my dad while trying to sort things out.   I wasn’t expecting to share the house with an adopted schnauzer.   Just when anger and depression pushed me to the end of my rope, a pestering pooch convinced me to attend a weekly obedience class. The lessons were tough. Awareness, discipline, and most important of all, a willing spirit were needed in order to heel.  I was always a lousy student. Turning my life around under the circumstances would require nothing short of a miracle.  “The Obedience Lessons: An Uncommon Tale of Spiritual Healing” is the touching story of a man, a rather annoying dog, and how they saved each other.","brand":"BookBaby","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":47128169087216,"sku":"9781543909036","price":4.99,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0737\/7593\/9824\/files\/9781543909036_p0.jpg?v=1763749459","url":"https:\/\/shop-qa.barnesandnoble.com\/products\/9781543909036","provider":"Barnes \u0026 Noble (DEV)","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
