{"product_id":"a-life-with-dogs-roger-welsch-9781496226693","title":"A Life with Dogs","description":"\"Who's a good dog?!\" They're ALL good dogs, that's who! Big or little, pedigree or mutt, rolling in stinky stuff, or stealing a T-bone meant for the barbecue grill, dogs are humankind's best hope for sanity in trying times. Dogs are eternally optimistic and somehow know how to comfort the more fragile human psyche. \u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e In \u003ci\u003eA Life with Dogs\u003c\/i\u003e Roger Welsch celebrates his lifelong admiration (as well as envy) of the canine spirit. And yet, for all their evident intellectual transparency, dogs also seem to have an understanding of life--and death--well beyond the grasp of those who think they own them. Dogs are great friends, nurses, workmates, and, if we are good students, great professors of philosophy. Roger laughs and wonders at their wile and beauty--and always appreciates that, wild or domestic, they know more about humans than we may ever know about them. \u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e Roger still mourns the dogs he has lost, and though he missed having a warm ear to rub now and then, he dared not risk further loss. Then an older dog in need came along, and Roger adopted Triumph, the Compliment Dog. With humankind's best friend nearby, all is not lost. \u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAuthor:\u003c\/b\u003e Roger Welsch\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-10:\u003c\/b\u003e 1496226690\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-13:\u003c\/b\u003e 9781496226693\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublisher:\u003c\/b\u003e Bison Books\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eLanguage:\u003c\/b\u003e English\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublished:\u003c\/b\u003e 03\/01\/2021\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePages:\u003c\/b\u003e 312\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eFormat:\u003c\/b\u003e Paperback\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eWeight:\u003c\/b\u003e 1.01lbs\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eSize:\u003c\/b\u003e 9.00h x 6.00w x 0.70d","brand":"Roger Welsch","offers":[{"title":"Paperback","offer_id":44045491732735,"sku":"9781496226693","price":24.95,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0662\/2982\/9887\/files\/img_ed0956c4-391e-42e3-919b-266f7dd3e839.jpg?v=1684979072","url":"https:\/\/www.whiterainbookhouse.com\/products\/a-life-with-dogs-roger-welsch-9781496226693","provider":"WR Book House","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
