Dog Crazy

by Meg Donohue

Overview

“Wonderful! Anyone who has ever loved and lost a dog will find wisdom and comfort in this sweet, smart story.”
   —Allie Larkin, author of Stay

As a pet bereavement counselor, Maggie Brennan uses a combination of empathy, insight, and humor to help patients cope with the anguish of losing their beloved four-legged friends. Though she has a gift for guiding others through difficult situations, Maggie has major troubles of her own that threaten the success of her counseling practice and her volunteer work with a dog rescue organization.

Everything changes when a distraught woman shows up at Maggie’s office and claims that her dog has been stolen. Searching the streets of San Francisco for the missing pooch, Maggie finds herself entangled in a mystery that forces her to finally face her biggest fear—and to open her heart to new love.

Packed with deep emotion and charming surprises, Dog Crazy is a big-hearted and entertaining story that skillfully captures the bonds of love, the pain of separation, and the power of our dogs to heal us.

Editorial Reviews

Praise for How To Eat A Cupcake: “Deliciously engaging. Donohue writes with charm and grace. What could be better than friendship and cupcakes?

Rebecca Rasmussen

Beautifully written and quietly wise, Meg Donohue’s How to Eat a Cupcake is an achingly honest portrayal of the many layers of friendship--a story so vividly told, you can (almost) taste the buttercream.

Sarah Jio

A heartwarming and unpredictable tale of friendship, family and frosting.

Zoe Fishman

An irresistible blend of sweet and tart, this book is truly a treat to be savored.

Beth Kendrick

All the Summer Girls is an honest and engaging look at the complicated and powerful bonds of female friendship. Donohue takes us on a weekend reunion full of secrets, resentment, and regret-in other words, once you start this book, you won’t be able to put it down!

Jennifer Close

Meg Donohue’s All the Summer Girls is an intimate, heartfelt, beautiful exploration of friendship, family and the ties that bind and the secrets that destroy us. Read it first, pass it to your girlfriend later. She’ll be grateful.

New York Times bestselling author Allison Winn Scotch

Donohue captures the beauty and frustration of reconnecting with old friends—they know you so well, and they don’t know you at all. Perfect for a staycation for readers who like the beachy drama of Elin Hilderbrand and Susan Wiggs.

Booklist

Beach Book Extraordinaire! Donohue’s three protagonists are irresistibly sympathetic as they try to unbury their true selves from the ruinous secrets of their shared past.

Elin Hilderbrand

Even if my daughter hadn’t recently rescued a dog, our first, I would have fallen in love with Meg Donohue’s Dog Crazy. On these pages you will find love, healing, forgiveness and pure unbridled joy of the human and canine kind.

Adriana Trigiani

Wonderful! Anyone who has ever loved and lost a dog will find wisdom and comfort in this sweet, smart story.
