Summary

Romantic novel of the year 2010.

When the abandoned strays from a local dogs' home are matched with brand new owners, it turns out it might not be just the dogs who need rescuing.

Rachel's aunt has left her a house, a border collie and, despite Rachel knowing nothing about dogs, a crowded kennel. But since her life has collapsed, she's not sure she can deal with any more lost souls.

Zoe's ex-husband has given their children a puppy. The kids are in love, but she's the one stuck training Toffee the impossible Labrador. She's nearly at the end of her tether - until Toffee leads her to a handsome doctor....

Meanwhile Natalie and Johnny's marriage hasn't been easy since they started trying for a baby. But is a fridge-raiding, sofa-stealing Basset hound like Bertie really the child substitute they're looking for?

As the new owners' paths cross on the town's dog-walking circuits, their lives become interwoven. And they - and their dogs - learn some important lessons about loyalty, companionship and unconditional love....

I love them... until the end!

3rd book of Lucy dillon I've read... and they're all great until the end. The first two I read ended too abruptly... but this one has an epilogue but it was too vague and I had too many questions...

I love Lucy Dillon books. I just hate her endings...

What a wonderful book

I loved this book, if you are a dog lover, you will too. It is clear that Lucy Dillon is a complete dog lover as she clearly understands the unique bond between owner and dog, the fact that they are family and do huge amounts to enhance our mood and change our lives for the better.
I was so sorry when I came to the end….
There’s nothing likes Lucy Dillon book to brighten your day and chill you out.

Best book I've listened to so far

This is such a lovely story it really takes you to another place. The narration is spot on. I loved the characters and it was just about the right length. I recommend this to anyone who wants a beautiful story and anyone who loves dogs. The author's description of the dogs in the rescue centre is brilliant. I loved Bertie, I would have adopted him myself if I could.

Great

Loved it ! Resue dogs, single parents and wayward inconsiderate ex husbands sounds much like my life. Really enjoyed it.
