{ "item_title" : "Travels with Casey", "item_author" : [" Benoit Denizet-Lewis "], "item_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).", "item_img_path" : "https://covers2.booksamillion.com/covers/bam/1/43/914/696/1439146969_b.jpg", "price_data" : { "retail_price" : "16.99", "online_price" : "16.99", "our_price" : "16.99", "club_price" : "16.99", "savings_pct" : "0", "savings_amt" : "0.00", "club_savings_pct" : "0", "club_savings_amt" : "0.00", "discount_pct" : "10", "store_price" : "" } }
