Summary: Single female meets mysterious male
Comment: A non-dog type woman, Louise Bernikow, jogs through Central Park one unassuming day and comes upon a crowd complete with police cars. Normally Louise jogs past such things but some mysterious force drew her to investigate. Through these events, she winds up caring for a dog that has been mistreated and left tied to the tree.
As the book unfolds, the dog from the "wrong side of the tracks" turns out to be a refined gentleman who keeps revealing clues about his past. This "gentledog", Libro, aids the lady author in healing from past and present relationships with boyfriends. Libro helps Louise move beyond her comfort zone - way beyond - try new things, and venture into new relationships with people from all walks of life.
The book starts well and unfortunately slows down in the middle. The end was a disappointment because clues about the dog's past become very intriguing and it is not explored further. Overall, this book helped in understanding someone who is not from the Midwest, who is a non-dog person in a big city, and who has not a clue in handling dogs. It does provide insight in the difficulties of having a dog in the city. Who would have thought of walking a dog down four flights of stairs just for him to use the restroom!
Despite the differences of raising a dog in a city versus a rural or suburban area, the common ground with dogs is the impact they have on humans. If we let them, they do change our lives for the better.

Summary: Libro--A Real Gal Pal!!
Comment: Move over Turner and Hooch, Timmy and Lassie---make way for Louise and Libro. This is a wonderful story of how human (Louise) and animal(dog Libro) transformed each others lives.It is truly a love story about "woman's" best friend, filled with an array of characters and situations that will make you smile, laugh out loud and also shed a heart-felt tear. I enjoyed the book tremendously. Can't wait for the movie!!

Summary: Stunning example of inter-species love at second sight
Comment: What an amazingly lovely story, almost like a fairy-tail (excuse the pun) about a sophisticated city lady, who meets and falls in love with a pooch who changes her take on life. She has finally found the unconditional love we don't usually find in our fellow humans. Another stunning example of inter-species communication. Sexy single lady meets Benji. Highly recommended for pet owners, future pet owners, and those who don't know what they're missing!
