DOG FRIENDLY

Victoria Schade

A burned-out veterinarian takes a much-needed beach vacation, where a charming surfer makes waves in her love life, and a unique foster pup renews her passion for her work.

Exhausted veterinarian Morgan Pearce is feeling overworked and under-thanked, so when two favorite clients ask her to watch their special needs senior dog in their Nantucket home, she jumps at the chance for a summer break. She hopes her time on the island will be a reset from the stress of her everyday life, but her chill vacation vibe takes a hit when she gets roped into fostering a challenging, anxious dog and helping plan the local rescue group's glittery annual fundraiser.

Her trip starts to feel more like a vacation when Morgan begins falling for Nathan Keating, an irresistible entrepreneur who thinks every problem can be solved on a surfboard. Just as the summer is shaping up to be the magical refresh she needs, thanks to a fling that feels like the beginning of something real and Hudson, the foster dog who reminds her how much she loves her job, a visit from her estranged brother and the discovery of who Nathan really is changes everything. Morgan finds herself at a crossroads, trying to determine if mistakes from the past must define the future, or if she should forgive, forget, and grab hold of a chance to finally rescue herself.

Victoria Schade is a dog trainer and speaker. She lives in Pennsylvania with her husband, her dogs Millie and Olive, and the occasional foster pup.

With huge heart, great tenderness, and plenty of unforgettable moments between dogs and their humans, Victoria Schade reminds readers that sometimes it takes getting away to find out where you are truly meant to be. Dog Friendly is a page-turning, feel-good story that - like a wet nose and a wagging tail - will work its way straight into readers' hearts. Add this literary gem to your TBR immediately!

You don't have to be a dog person to love this honest yet hopeful book, but the animal lover in me delighted in Victoria Schade's latest, with my favorite pups, swoon-worthy love interest, and the most memorable happily-ever-after to date. Dog Friendly will give you all the feels.

I was happily caught up in Dog Friendly from page one. The dogs are adorable, of course, but there are very real and weighty issues for Morgan and Nathan to face and overcome. Readers are there, with them, watching the sunset from the sandy dunes, holding our breath as Hudson struggles with anxiety, and falling in love - the kind that lasts. Victoria Schade delivers an easy-breezy read, balancing emotional punches with warm fuzzies - for the humans and their canine compatriots.

Victoria Schade has done it again. Another feel good, dog friendly, tail-waggingly fantastic story! Victoria's books will always have a home on my keeper shelf!

This book was a page-turner. The characters were so real and their problems so relatable, I was cheering for them through every twist and turn. Timely topics like career burnout and the long-lasting effects of childhood hurts were balanced by dogs and sun and surf. I didn't want this charming summer in Nantucket to end, but this is one of those books that leaves you with a sense of joy and hope long after you've read the last page
