"Sharply observed, beautifully written, and bursting at the seams with two big hearts-- one human and one canine," says Claire Cook, author of Must Love Dogs. An Oprah magazine summer reading pick, this book follows Louise and Libro, the bi-lingual canine, on a hilarious journey around Manhattan's upper west side, cross-country as animal rescue poster kids, to the Hamptons for fun and through the cycles of a lifetime.

A truly multicultural feast and a joy to read." --Darlene Clark Hine “A delicious, hearty, surprising, delightful minestrone brimming with nourishing information we need.” --Nell Irvin Painter BARK IF YOU LOVE ME: A WOMAN MEETS DOG STORY
