Synopsis: Not all heroes wear capes. Some of them wear collars.
A Dog’s Purpose meets The Happy Ever After Playlist
in this charming, pitch-perfect take on relationships as seen through
the eyes of a wise pug named Doug, who is determined to play cupid to
fix his owner’s love life with his own four paws.
Doug wants his
rescuer, Julie, to be happy. He is loyal and loves her
unconditionally—two things that can’t be said about Julie’s married boss
and lover, Luke. Yet Julie is reluctant to break up, afraid to end up
like her eccentric cat-owning neighbor. It’s a prospect that horrifies
Doug, too.
Newly divorced Tom, on the other hand, is perfect for
Julie. Everyone can see it—except for Julie and Tom. Doug is confident
that with his help they will get over their initial animosity toward
each other.
As Doug humorously navigates the quirks of human
relationships, he knows he can’t give up on Julie—after all, being a
“rescue” works both ways. (Synopsis from Goodreads)
My Thoughts: I'm a sucker for a book with a dog, so as soon as I saw that pug on the cover, I knew I had to read it. This was a cute story. Cute, cute, cute! It's written from the point of view of Doug the Dog, who is determined to give his owner Julie a happily ever after. Doug does his best to steer his owner to an ideal match. It's definitely a unique story, because I don't think I've ever read something entirely from the point of view of an animal.
This book is very sweet and fun. Julie hasn't made the best decisions when it comes to her love life. She's hooking up with her married boss, which isn't smart on any level. It does take Julie a little bit to smarten up and look for someone more suitable. She's scared of being alone for the rest of her life, but I don't know why she thinks a married man who has power over her is a good choice. She definitely needs a lot of help from Doug.
I do like Tom, and it was fun to see how Doug plays Cupid. This story is very cute, very fun. It has an adorable little dog. It's a great read if you're wanting something sweet. I'd definitely say pick it up.
