was cold and trembling, abandoned on their front doorstep.

Dash, impulsive as always, decides on the spot that they should

keep it. But her husband, Andrew, thinks its the craziest thing he's ever heard. A fight over a scruffy little dog doesn't seem like

much of a reason to walk out on your husband of twenty years--

but the spat over the puppy is just the last of many straws. Dash

is so tired of the faculty parties at Mason-Dixon College that

Andrew insists they attend even though he won't mingle with his

colleagues, tired of his constant fretting over illnesses he doesn't

have, tired of the glass of warm milk he must have every night

before bed. Why can't he see that with her mother gone and

their daughter off at college, Dash needs something more. Now,

living on her own for the first time in many years, Dash can do

whatever she wants...if only she could figure out what that is.

But every time she starts making plans for the future, she finds

herself thinking about her past--remembering the mother she's

lost, her daughter's childhood, and the husband she isn't entirely

sure she wants to leave behind.

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"-

two outcasts -- a man ignored, even shunned by his village, and

the one-eyed dog he takes into his quiet, tightly shuttered life --

find each other, by accident or fate, and forge an unlikely

both comfort. One of those rare stories that utterly, completely

imagines its way into a life most of us would never see, it

transforms us not only in our understanding of the world, but
