Synopses & ReviewsPublisher Comments:Dawn Tarnauers life isnt exactly a success story. Already twice divorced, the young Californian is too busy job-hopping to start a career, her current boyfriend insists on living “off the grid,” her Life Coach sister perpetually interferes with incomprehensible affirmations, her eccentric mother is busy promoting the culmination of her lifes work: The Every Holiday Tree, and her father is ending his brief third marriage while scheduling two dates for the same night. Dawns only source of security and comfort, it seems, is Chuck, a pit-bull mix from the pound. So, when her boyfriend announces that hes leaving her for another woman, a despairing Dawn turns to Chuck for solace. “I should have said something sooner,” Chuck confides, as he tries to console her. “Couldnt you smell her on his pants?” Dawn is stunned. Its one thing to talk to your pets, but what do you do when they start talking back? Its not just Chuck, either; she can hear all dogs–and mans best friend has a lot to say. The ever-enthusiastic Chuck offers his tried-and-true advice on the merits of knocking over garbage and strewing it everywhere, auxiliary competitive peeing etiquette, and the curative powers of tossing a ball. Doubtful of her own sanity, Dawn considers that, in the ways of life and love, it might be better to trust Chucks doggie instincts instead of her own. Filled with sharp wit, biting humor, and canine conversation that would make Doctor Dolittles jaw drop, Merrill Markoes engaging, cleverly written novel is about the confusing search for love and the divine acts of dog.
