What if your dog died and then came back as a ghost...that could talk? Would you welcome him back with open arms, or run away scared to death?
This is the premise of IT'S JUST A DOG, a funny, heartwarming new novel about love, pet loss, and one man's dog who rises up yapping from the grave as a talking dog.
Charlie Keefe is not just your typical dog lover -- he's a world famous dog painter, a.k.a. "The Picasso of Pooch Portraits". Unfortunately, Charlie's beloved muse, Pete, his lovable Jack Russell terrier, has just died. And he's totally devastated by the loss of his furry best friend.
So, after months of grieving over his dearly departed soulmate and wondering if he ever made it to The Rainbow Bridge in Dog Heaven, Charlie reluctantly agrees to foster a new puppy -- a cute Cavalier King Charles named Brownie from the local animal shelter. Soon after, Charlie is surprised to find himself falling head over heels with this new puppy girl, his 'Rebound Dog', as he calls her -- as well as being romantically attracted to Janelle Jordan, the head hound at the dog rescue.
But then complications arise when the ghost of his old dog, Pete, mysteriously reappears one night and comes back to haunt him and the new puppy -- setting off a bizarre chain of events that throw Charlie's life, career, and entire belief system into chaos
If you love talking dog books or just books about dogs, such as Old Yeller, The Art of Racing in the Rain, Marley and Me, A Dog's Purpose, and other touching animal fiction by Karen McQuestion (Hello Love), Catherine Ryan Hyde ("Where We Belong"), and Susan Wilson ("One Good Dog"), then you are bound to find a place in your heart for IT'S JUST A DOG.
It's Just A Dog is not just for dogs. It's for anyone who has ever lost a pet -- and learned to love again. If you're a feel-good fan of hopeful, uplifting dog stories, make It's Just A Dog your special treat
*As an added bonus, a portion of the proceeds have been donated to Muttville Senior Dog Rescue (in San Francisco, California), a rescue which believes that every dog deserves a happy ending.
