Publisher's Summary
After the death of her mother and the end of a postdivorce relationship leave her heartbroken, novelist Amanda Brookfield finds her once secure world imploding.
As despair closes in, she talks of getting a puppy to revive her optimistic spirit. Amanda is advised that her lifestyle will not suit becoming a dog owner, but she can't resist Mabel, a beautiful golden doodle puppy. Arming herself with an arsenal of equipment, Amanda learns that there are no shortcuts to training and caring for a dog.
Through battling daily challenges and constantly regrouping, Amanda realises she is starting to come to terms with her bereavement and the prospect of facing the rest of her life alone.
For the Love of a Dog tells the bigger, more poignant story about the labour of emotional recovery after the trauma of loss. Mabel shines like a light throughout, the unwitting architect of rebuilding self-belief. Mabel's own journey is equally captivating, as she blossoms into a mischievous, endearing head turner of a companion - as affectionate as she is glorious.
