Book Synopsis



AN AMAZON BOOK OF THE MONTH IN ROMANCE

POPSUGAR'S BEST BOOKS OF JUNE

PARADE'S BEST CANINE BOOKS SUMMER 2021


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.
