This is a novella, so I was able to read it in one sitting. I like reading about animals, so that is why I picked this up. I was a little annoyed at first with the talking dog, Mosey. When an animal can talk, but only one person can hear it, it seems a little overdone. But by the end of the story, I was enjoying the relationship between Ninna and Mosey. It made more sense to my by the end. There was some element of danger/mystery with a criminal who is obsessed with Ninna, and a love interest in Stuart, the cute veterinarian. When the story was over, I wished it could go on longer. I enjoyed reading about these people. ( )

A Dog's Life by Dale Mayer which was a laugh out loud book. A woman who has never owned a pet starts her first day working as a secretary for a vet. The first day jitters, coupled with a hectic zoo like atmosphere at the vet's leads Ninna to believe she is losing her mind.

You see, Ninna hears voices. Okay, more like just one voice. The voice of a dog, named Mosey. Mosey is a plump canine of the Bassett Hound breed. A bit rotund, a bit snarky, but dog love 'em, he is so much fun.

Ninna has spent countless hours and dollars with mental health professionals and pharmaceuticals to stop these voices she has been hearing much of her life. It has been sometime since she last heard the voices and she cannot believe it is happening again.

While all of this is happening, we discover that there have been a number of burglaries in Ninna's neighborhood. What Ninna is unaware of is that this thief has a special interest in her. He's been watching her through her curtains and is becoming increasingly agitated as he realizes he has changed his routine which has kept him from capture for so long.

Stuart is the good looking vet who lives across the street. He brings home animals who need a little extra TLC. This wonderful looking vet needs a dog sitter, and Ninna is trying to decide if she wants a dog or cat and so Stuart offers to allow her to stay at his home to care for the dogs. Nothing can go wrong...right?! Wrong...it does, and in a big way while Ninna is still listening to Mosey as he tells her he wants gravy. More gravy. "What, no gravy?" Sorry, channeling my inner cartoon character.

I won't tell you anymore because I do not want to give the story away. The ending will surprise you, in I think, a good way.

This is the third book I have read of Ms. Mayer and I must say, it is my favorite. Dale writes wonderful suspense romance, but this romantic comedy just really has it all. I hope to read more RC's from Ms. Mayer in the future. She is fast becoming one of my favorite go to authors to read. ( )

Handsome men, cute dogs, and a romance you will never forget!
This is a fun and quirky read that had me laughing and awing throughout the entire thing. Mosey was definitely one of my favorite characters. He was funny and a bit of a smart-aleck which made reading this that much more enjoyable.
Ninna was a normal girl just trying to make it at a new job, but life decided to add a talking dog in the mix and things couldn’t have gotten any more chaotic. I really liked her and loved seeing all of the antics she got into. She really persevered throughout all the craziness on top of having a stalker which was amazing.
This is a quirky new romance that any dog lover would love to read! ( )

Thoroughly enjoyable read. One little plot twist revealed at the end. I sort of thought it was going to go that way. Nothing like a talking dog that only seems to talk to you when no one else is around. ( )
