{"product_id":"9781787304833","title":"Ubac and me","description":"\u003cp\u003eA tiny ad in a local newspaper catches Cédric Sapin-Defour's eye: a litter of Bernese Mountain Dog puppies need homes. A lonely, single, gym teacher \u0026amp; mountain climber in the French Alps, Cédric visits the dogs \u0026amp; immediately falls for a puppy with a blue collar who steps over his siblings to get to him. Named Ubac, French for the north side of the mountain - the rainy, cloudy slope - the puppy upends Cédric's life. They go on hikes together, taking to the hills \u0026amp; exploring, forging a bond that brings joy \u0026amp; a sense of fulfillment \u0026amp; adventure. They brave the world together, hate to be apart, crave the mountains \u0026amp; the natural world; they protect each other. Over the course of 13 years, their pack expands to include Mathilde, Cédric's wife, \u0026amp; more dogs. This book is an intimate meditation on a joyous life lived too fast, the aching pain of separation, \u0026amp; the transformative effect of unconditional love.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Harvill Secker","offers":[{"title":"Cédric \/ Sapin-Defour","offer_id":56284078309750,"sku":"9781787304833","price":18.99,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/1208\/4146\/files\/9781787304833_3f33bd84-ba7d-4211-bca7-909e91a1ccc9.jpg?v=1758014567","url":"https:\/\/chepstowbooks.co.uk\/products\/9781787304833","provider":"Chepstow Books \u0026 Gifts","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
