Synopsis

From Beth Kendrick comes a hilarious and heartwarming story about bad dogs and the women who love them…

Lara Madigan has a gift. She can help you find your soulmate--your canine soul mate, that is. As a dog trainer with a soft spot for strays, she’s found the perfect home for sulky Shih Tzus, broken-down Border Collies, and diabolical Dalmatians. But while she’ll always make room for one more rescue mutt, she’s not sure she’s ready to commit to another human being--especially after her long-term boyfriend drops the bomb: He’s not a dog person.

Horrified and temporarily homeless, Lara and her furry pack move in with her mother, a wealthy fashionista who forbids even a single drop of drool. As word gets around the exclusive gated community, Lara is overwhelmed with demands for her services. A model wants personal training for her overweight “flabrador”; an aging socialite preps her pedigreed puppy for dog show domination.... If Lara can survive the breakup, the outrageous requests of her high-maintenance clientele, and her dogs' systematic destruction of her mother’s McMansion, she might finally find the rescue dog who rescues her in return--by leading her straight to the guy who could be her perfect match.

Update 6/14/2012: I originally gave this book 3 stars, but after talking to a friend about it ... I am revising it to 4 stars. She brought up some good points, which were (1) Did you care about the characters (human and canine); (2) Did you care how it ended; (3) Did you feel parts of it were accura......more

Goodreads review by Marcy on May 30, 2012

Overall not a bad book. The few errors about dog shows were not unexpected. My biggest complaint about the book was the fact she went back to Evan after he flushed the dog's toy. I don't care if you're not a dog person, you don't do something to hurt an animal, just to punish a person. I realize it......more

Goodreads review by Lauren on June 05, 2012

I saw this at the library and since I love any stories that deal with dogs, I thought I'd pick it up. Kendrick wrote a delightful book. Lara is the "doggie matchmaker" she looks at people and can almost instantly match a person up with their ideal canine soulmate. She's very devoted to her dogs an......more
