It made me laugh, it made me tear up and it made me think about how even young children have a hard time dealing with the toughness of some of the situations that they are forced to deal with on a regular basis. I love that meeting that sweet little pug was what helped her to come out of her shell! This book was just so incredible. I love that Cecillia was so passionate about helping animals that she continued to volunteer at the shelter even after she’d lost the pug to her classmates. This book turned out to be more then I had expected. I try to read the first few chapters and judge from there. I do that so then I don’t judge a book without giving it a good go. I have a habit of not reading a books synopsis before I start the book. I have to admit, this wasn’t quite what I was expecting when I’d started to read this book.

She agrees, because it means she can spend even more time with the pug. She settles for that option but then Eric asks her to help him train the pug so that it can take part in dog shows.

I did get hooked into the story, and the finale was super adorable.Ĭontent: replacement profanity, replacement expletives, profanity I don’t get why there was such a huge anti-breeding perspective in this book, particularly since the lead herself loved a purebred dog - which means he would have originally come from a dog breeder’s litter of purebred pups, no matter that he ended up at the shelter somehow when she came upon him. I understand the character in this book preferred for people to rescue animals from shelters, but each person should get to decide whether they want a rescue dog or a purebred dog, as neither option is wrong per se. She always took great care of her dogs and puppies, never overworking the parents and always finding really great forever homes for the puppies once they were weaned and old enough to be separated from their parents. I personally know a woman who responsibly bred dogs for years. She felt they were “irresponsible,” but these are institutions that have been well revered for years upon years. I really struggled to understand the lead’s mindset that was so against breeding dogs and dog shows. The themes of grief, family, friendship, and choosing to do the right thing were well written and added so much depth to this little story. What a cute purebred pug puppy Potato was! I really enjoyed him. 'The story is as light and sweet as the cotton candy Cecilia's new buddy Lily adores, and a gentle take on puppy love of all varieties.Mostly, this story was adorable.
