{"product_id":"the-dog-ray","title":"The Dog, Ray","description":"\u003cb\u003eBy turns humorous, poignant, and moving, this tale of a girl who comes back to Earth as a dog is a nuanced portrait of death, love, grief, and hope.\u003c\/b\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003ci\u003eWhen my death came it was swift. Swift as a running horse. It wasted no time.\u003c\/i\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eDaisy, age twelve, has died in a car accident. She finds herself in the afterworld, which resembles nothing more than a job center. Her soul is being returned to Earth, but not as a human being—she’s returning as a dog. A dog who retains Daisy’s thoughts and pluck and is determined to get back to her parents and to get back home. What she doesn’t expect is that life as a dog named Ray would come with such worries—and moments of jubilation—as she grows to care for others in a whole new way. Told in a compelling first-person voice, Linda Coggin’s incredible novel touches on loyalty and freedom, connection and acceptance, and is sure to stay with readers long after the story is done.","brand":"Linda Coggin","offers":[{"title":"Hardback","offer_id":44983937368357,"sku":"9780763679385","price":0.0,"currency_code":"CAD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0727\/7851\/4725\/files\/BNCImageAPI_ea7c0b3d-4fdf-4d36-8865-31814e2dc047.jpg?v=1732230805","url":"https:\/\/crossandcrows.myshopify.com\/products\/the-dog-ray","provider":"Cross \u0026 Crows Books","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
