{"product_id":"travels-with-casey-benoit-denizet-lewis-9781439146965","title":"Travels with Casey","description":"A New York Times bestseller and People \"Book of the Week\" This hilarious, charming road trip through canine-loving America is \"essential reading for dog lovers and armchair travelers\" (Library Journal, starred review).\"I don't think my dog likes me very much,\" New York Times Magazine writer Benoit Denizet-Lewis confesses at the beginning of his cross-country journey with his nine-year-old Labrador-mix, Casey. Over the next four months, thirty-two states, and 13,000 miles in a rented motor home, Denizet-Lewis and his lovable, moody canine companion try--with humorous and touching results--to pay tribute to the most powerful interspecies bond there is, in the country with the highest rate of dog ownership in the world. On the way, Denizet-Lewis--\"a master at effortlessly weaving bits of research into his narrative\" (Los Angeles Times)--meets an irresistible cast of dogs and their dog-obsessed humans. Denizet-Lewis and Casey hang out with wolf-dogs in Appalachia, enter a dock-jumping competition in Florida, meet homeless teens and their dogs in Washington, sleep in a Beagle-shaped bed and breakfast in Idaho, and visit \"Dog Whisperer\" Cesar Millan in California. And then there are the really out there characters: pet psychics, dog-wielding hitchhikers, and two women who took their neighbor to court for allegedly failing to pick up her dog's poop. Denizet-Lewis's memoir \"is a lot like Casey...fun, sweet, and a little neurotic\" (Chicago Tribune)--a delightfully idiosyncratic blend of memoir and travelogue coupled with a sociological exploration of a dog-obsessed America. Travels With Casey is \"a thoroughly engaging and often hilarious investigation of the therapeutic nature of our relationships with dogs\" (Booklist).\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAuthor:\u003c\/b\u003e Benoit Denizet-Lewis\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-10:\u003c\/b\u003e 1439146969\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-13:\u003c\/b\u003e 9781439146965\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublisher:\u003c\/b\u003e Simon \u0026amp; Schuster\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eLanguage:\u003c\/b\u003e English\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublished:\u003c\/b\u003e 07\/21\/2015\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePages:\u003c\/b\u003e 352\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eFormat:\u003c\/b\u003e Paperback\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eWeight:\u003c\/b\u003e 0.80lbs\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eSize:\u003c\/b\u003e 8.90h x 6.00w x 1.00d","brand":"Benoit Denizet-Lewis","offers":[{"title":"Paperback","offer_id":43991996498175,"sku":"9781439146965","price":16.99,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0662\/2982\/9887\/files\/img_c6cd1158-6749-4714-a87b-410fa3f1d240.jpg?v=1683313444","url":"https:\/\/www.whiterainbookhouse.com\/products\/travels-with-casey-benoit-denizet-lewis-9781439146965","provider":"WR Book House","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
