He is great with smaller dogs. If he sees a hose he will destroy it to protect you. He will figure out ways to let you know exactly how he feels'. When Martha has a chance encounter with Carol's friend he can't help but notice Minnie 'oh those chunky little legs' and so the matchmaking begins. After a disastrous first meeting when Minnie doesn't appear to think much of Harry (who is super keen) things improve and soon they are inseparable. As Carol's illness progresses so a new friendship and community blossoms Carol's Club.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eThe bonds that grew changed Martha's life Carol's life Minnie's life and Harry's life. And they changed Carol's death as well.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eIn this  rich and touching narrative Martha considers the ways our stories are  shaped by the people we meet and the profound love we can find by  opening our hearts to unexpected encounters.\u003c\/p\u003e\u0026gt;","brand":"Oxfordbookstore","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":44787437633715,"sku":"9781783253036","price":719.0,"currency_code":"INR","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0718\/4164\/4723\/files\/blk_imp_17477373559781783253036.jpg?v=1762819666","url":"https:\/\/oxfordbookstore.com\/products\/when-harry-met-minnie","provider":"Oxfordbookstore ","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
