When your dog plays Cupid…what could possibly go wrong?

Loyal rescue pug Doug wants his adoring owner Julie to find unconditional love and happiness – and he knows she won’t find either in the arms of Luke, her married boss. 

Doug is terrified that Julie will become a lonely cat-lover if she stays single too long, but he can’t let her fall for any more of Luke’s empty promises. Julie needs to move on – and Doug is convinced that Tom, a newly divorced V-E-T, is perfect for her (despite his questionable occupation). 

There’s just one problem: Julie and Tom can’t stand each other.

Doug doesn’t quite understand the quirks and complexities of human relationships, but he won’t let that get in the way of his mission to bring Tom and Julie together. After all, being a ‘rescue’ works both ways…

Matt Dunn has all the best ideas for rom coms, and to have this one narrated via the eyes of Doug the Pug is truly inspired,

Doug is a clever dog and able to understand everything the humans are saying and can sometimes even get them to do things too!

He is determined to help Julie see that Luke isn't right for her, and that the most likely best candidate for her to fall for is Tom. 

And that is despite as Doug says that Tom is a V-E-T - which is how it's phrased continually, so as not to alarm Doug!

I love books written from an animal point of view, and it's great getting into the mind of Doug which is rather realistic - at least I like to think that dogs can think that way.

This is so enjoyable and light hearted and fun, it was a pleasure to read.

Thank you to HQ Digital and Netgalley for this copy which I have reviewed honestly and voluntarily.
