{"product_id":"zen-heart-mark-vette-9780143775027","title":"Zen Heart: What I've Learned from Animals and Life","description":"A cheeky baboon, a cockatoo sending a heading dog out to round up sheep, a family of pukekos crossing the road, a dog saying 'bugger', an octopus taking a photo. Think of an ad you love, or a New Zealand-made movie, and if it has an animal in it chances are Mark Vette is behind it. He's trained almost every species you can think of. But the famous animal behaviourist and trainer who captured global attention with \"Dogs who drive cars\" and \"Dogs who fly planes\" is not just an animal maestro. He's a long-time Buddhist, who brings to his relationships with animals a true emotional bond, enormous respect, and the sure knowledge that we humans are just one pieces of this great, interconnected puzzle we call Life on Earth. This is his story, and the stories of the animals he has worked with over the decades. From a classic kiwi childhood of outdoor activities and sport, with plenty of time on the farm, through a growing conviction that killing animals wasn't for him, to his embracing of Buddhism and his developing work with animals of all kinds. Mark's life and beliefs unfold in a thoroughly relatable way - with jaw-dropping and laugh out loud moments thrown in.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAuthor:\u003c\/b\u003e Mark Vette\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-10:\u003c\/b\u003e 0143775022\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-13:\u003c\/b\u003e 9780143775027\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublisher:\u003c\/b\u003e Penguin Random House New Zealand Limited\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eLanguage:\u003c\/b\u003e English\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublished:\u003c\/b\u003e 11\/03\/2020\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePages:\u003c\/b\u003e 304\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eFormat:\u003c\/b\u003e Paperback","brand":"Mark Vette","offers":[{"title":"Paperback","offer_id":48437879177471,"sku":"9780143775027","price":38.95,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0662\/2982\/9887\/files\/img_bf4794aa-3a88-4bf2-93d7-3cd38d3e109f.jpg?v=1777167391","url":"https:\/\/www.whiterainbookhouse.com\/products\/zen-heart-mark-vette-9780143775027","provider":"WR Book House","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
