He lived as an abandoned stray on the streets of New Orleans for 3 months before he was captured. Later, he became a foster dog in Illinois. Cody was the most emotionally damaged dog Lauren had ever worked with, and she knew that he would always need a therapeutic home, so she adopted him. Two years later, Lauren was also abandoned and alone when her husband of 29 years ended their marriage.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eCody and Lauren healed together over the next several years. He helped her recover from the loss of her marriage, a hysterectomy, a suicide attempt, and unemployment. When she couldn't find a job in the U.S., Lauren moved to China as an English teacher; Cody went as her service dog for balance. In China, Cody became an independent dog, while Lauren worked on becoming an independent woman.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eThey moved to Alaska after three years in China, first living on a remote and isolated island in the Aleutians, and then moving to a less-remote, but still-isolated island in Southeast Alaska. Cody's evolution, from a \"quivering mass of dog flesh\" to a confident and capable dog, was an inspiration to the people he met along the way.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAuthor:\u003c\/b\u003e Lauren Henry Brehm\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-13:\u003c\/b\u003e 9798218562007\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublisher:\u003c\/b\u003e Purple Wolf Designs\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eLanguage:\u003c\/b\u003e English\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublished:\u003c\/b\u003e 10\/26\/2024\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePages:\u003c\/b\u003e 234\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eFormat:\u003c\/b\u003e Paperback\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eWeight:\u003c\/b\u003e 0.54lbs\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eSize:\u003c\/b\u003e 8.00h x 5.25w x 0.49d","brand":"Lauren Henry Brehm","offers":[{"title":"Paperback","offer_id":46420584890623,"sku":"9798218562007","price":20.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0662\/2982\/9887\/files\/img_dcb47a41-2754-46d2-8062-ddb7317df04e.jpg?v=1734635058","url":"https:\/\/www.whiterainbookhouse.com\/products\/cody-lauren-henry-brehm-9798218562007","provider":"WR Book House","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
