In\u003ci\u003e Beloved Dog\u003c\/i\u003e, renowned artist and author Maira Kalman illuminates our cherished companions as only she can. From the dogs lovingly illustrated in her acclaimed children's books to the real-life pets who inspire her still, Kalman's \u003ci\u003eBeloved Dog\u003c\/i\u003e is joyful, beautifully illustrated, and, as always, deeply philosophical. \u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eHere is Max Stravinsky, the dog poet of \u003ci\u003eOh-La-La (Max in Love)\u003c\/i\u003e-fame, and her own Irish Wheaton Pete (almost named Einstein, until he revealed himself to be \"clearly no Einstein\"), who also made an appearance in the delightful \u003ci\u003eWhat Pete Ate: From A to Z\u003c\/i\u003e. And of course, there is Boganch, Kalman's in-laws' \"big black slobbering Hungarian Beast.\" And that's just the beginning. \u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eWith humor and intelligence, Kalman gives voice to the dogs she adores, noting that they are constant reminders that life reveals the best of itself when we live fully in the moment and extend unconditional love. \"And it is very true,\" she writes, \"that the most tender, complicated, most generous part of our being blossoms without any effort, when it comes to the love of a dog.\"\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eBinding Type:\u003c\/b\u003e Paperback\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublisher:\u003c\/b\u003e Penguin Group\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublished:\u003c\/b\u003e 10\/31\/2017\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN:\u003c\/b\u003e 9780143109884\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePages:\u003c\/b\u003e 160\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eWeight:\u003c\/b\u003e 0.70lbs\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eSize:\u003c\/b\u003e 7.20h x 6.10w x 0.50d","brand":"Maira Kalman","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":36634900267164,"sku":"9780143109884","price":17.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0473\/0804\/6492\/products\/img_c649d5fd-4542-4df8-af68-4f6bbd0e2618.jpg?v=1603837957","url":"https:\/\/pastforward.org\/products\/beloved-dog-9780143109884","provider":"Past Forward","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
