My Review
With thanks to the publisher for the copy received. I have a confession to make. I am a cat person, not a dog person, I have never owned a dog. But I still enjoyed this book which was a welcome breath of fresh air after a long bout of crime fiction and an even longer bout of depressing news.Â
When Anushka fulfils her life long dream of owning a pug she has little idea how many friends that it would bring into her lonely world. What starts as a series of meet-ups in a park soon escalates into the pug cafe and she is unprepared for how successful it would be, the positivity and a little bit of negativity that it brought. Cleverly told by both her and Bertie the pug every step of her journey is shown. What friendships are formed, heartache and suspicion and pitfalls along the way.
I have to say that I did prefer to read Anushka’s narrative, even though Bertie’s is very sweet. This is probably for no other reason than not understanding dogs. I could visualise clearly though the hatred of rain and the love of treats. And of course sharing his bed with his humans.
Since reading this book I have visited the various media pages of the pug cafe and it is evident how popular and loved it is. I’m sure this book will be adored by many dog owners.Â
