He lived as an abandoned stray on the streets of New Orleans for 3 months before he was captured. Later, he became a foster dog in Illinois. Cody was the most emotionally damaged dog Lauren had ever worked with, and she knew that he would always need a therapeutic home, so she adopted him. Two years later, Lauren was also abandoned and alone when her husband of 29 years ended their marriage.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eCody and Lauren healed together over the next several years. He helped her recover from the loss of her marriage, a hysterectomy, a suicide attempt, and unemployment. When she couldn't find a job in the U.S., Lauren moved to China as an English teacher; Cody went as her service dog for balance. In China, Cody became an independent dog, while Lauren worked on becoming an independent woman.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eThey moved to Alaska after three years in China, first living on a remote and isolated island in the Aleutians, and then moving to a less-remote, but still-isolated island in Southeast Alaska. Cody's evolution, from a \"quivering mass of dog flesh\" to a confident and capable dog, was an inspiration to the people he met along the way.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAuthor:\u003c\/b\u003e \u003ca href=\"https:\/\/sureshotbooks-com.myshopify.com\/search?type=product%2Carticle%2Cpage\u0026amp;q=AUTH-17493640\"\u003eLauren Henry Brehm\u003c\/a\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublisher:\u003c\/b\u003e Purple Wolf Designs\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublished:\u003c\/b\u003e 10\/26\/2024\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePages:\u003c\/b\u003e 234\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eBinding Type:\u003c\/b\u003e Paperback\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eWeight:\u003c\/b\u003e 0.54lbs\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eSize:\u003c\/b\u003e 8.00h x 5.25w x 0.49d\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN13:\u003c\/b\u003e 9798218562007\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eBISAC Categories:\u003c\/b\u003e\u003cbr\u003e- \u003ca href=\"https:\/\/sureshotbooks-com.myshopify.com\/search?type=product%2Carticle%2Cpage\u0026amp;q=CAT-BIO\"\u003eBiography \u0026amp; Autobiography\u003c\/a\u003e | \u003ca href=\"https:\/\/sureshotbooks-com.myshopify.com\/search?type=product%2Carticle%2Cpage\u0026amp;q=BISAC-BIO026000\"\u003eMemoirs\u003c\/a\u003e\u003cbr\u003e- \u003ca href=\"https:\/\/sureshotbooks-com.myshopify.com\/search?type=product%2Carticle%2Cpage\u0026amp;q=CAT-PET\"\u003ePets\u003c\/a\u003e | \u003ca href=\"https:\/\/sureshotbooks-com.myshopify.com\/search?type=product%2Carticle%2Cpage\u0026amp;q=BISAC-PET010000\"\u003eEssays \u0026amp; Narratives\u003c\/a\u003e\u003cbr\u003e- \u003ca href=\"https:\/\/sureshotbooks-com.myshopify.com\/search?type=product%2Carticle%2Cpage\u0026amp;q=CAT-TRV\"\u003eTravel\u003c\/a\u003e | \u003ca href=\"https:\/\/sureshotbooks-com.myshopify.com\/search?type=product%2Carticle%2Cpage\u0026amp;q=BISAC-TRV003020\"\u003eAsia | East | China\u003c\/a\u003e\u003cbr\u003e","brand":"Purple Wolf Designs","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":48460676464877,"sku":"9798218562007","price":20.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0550\/8097\/6621\/files\/img_a1d4c064-0099-4ce6-8c51-206d2009d38b.jpg?v=1753667775","url":"https:\/\/sureshotbooks.com\/products\/cody-the-extraordinary-life-of-an-ordinary-dog-9798218562007","provider":"SureShot Books Publishing LLC","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
