{"product_id":"9780593715673","title":"Pets and the City","description":"\u003cb\u003eOne of \u003ci\u003eWashington Post\u003c\/i\u003e’s 5 “Feel-Good Books” of Summer 2024\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eNew York City’s premier “house call veterinarian” takes you into the exclusive penthouses and four-star hotel rooms of the wealthiest New Yorkers and shows that, when it comes to their pets, they are just as neurotic as any of us.\u003c\/b\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eWhen a pet is sick, people—even the rich and famous—are at their most authentic and vulnerable. They could have a Monet on the wall and an Oscar on the shelf, but if their cat gets a cold, all they want to talk about are snotty noses and sneezing fits. That’s when they call premier in-home veterinarian Dr. Amy Attas.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eIn \u003ci\u003ePets and the City\u003c\/i\u003e, Dr. Amy shares all the funny, heartbreaking, and life-affirming experiences she’s faced throughout her thirty-year career treating the cats and dogs of New Yorkers from Park Avenue to the projects. Some of her stories are about celebs, like the time she saw a famous singer naked (no, her rash was \u003ci\u003enot\u003c\/i\u003e the same as her puppy’s). Others are about remarkable animals, like the skilled service dog who, after his exam was finished, left the room and returned with a checkbook in his mouth. Every tale in this rollicking, informative, and fun memoir affirms a key truth about animal, and human, nature: Our pets love us because their hearts are pure; we love them because they’re freaking adorable. On some level, we know that by caring for them, we are the best version of ourselves. In short: Our pets make us better people.","brand":"Dr. Amy Attas","offers":[{"title":"Hardback","offer_id":45894043697364,"sku":"9780593715673","price":39.0,"currency_code":"CAD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/1000\/9208\/files\/BNCImageAPI_6474dcc5-2b39-4977-acb7-9c45d335d8f1.jpg?v=1732496901","url":"https:\/\/penguinshop.ca\/products\/9780593715673","provider":"Penguin Shop","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
