Dog Days: A big-hearted, tender, funny novel about new beginnings

Product Information

Dog Days is a novel about those small but life-changing moments that only come when we pause to let the light in. It is about three people learning to make connections and find joy and comfort in living life off the leash.

Funny, sad, gritty and beautifully told, this story will make you look at life again and appreciate the small acts of kindness that make everything worthwhile. HAZEL PRIOR, author of Away with the PenguinsWaller has a lyrical way of weaving words that perfectly encapsulates a feeling or thought ... Funny, sad and reassuringly sage, Dog Days is a story of humanity, family and life. Culturefly This fourth installment is an excellent addition to the other three stories. Greg's true character really comes out in this novel as he discovers who he is, learns to balance everything that's going on, and takes an easy-going approach to life. The illustrations are well-done and only add to the book's humor. I did like how the author made this more than a fluffy read. There is indeed some real depth to the themes. There is also an epilogue, which infuses a degree of hopefulness and positivity to each of the threads, but it wasn’t quite enough for me, I guess. I still felt bereft. I’d give this one 3.5 stars if I could for the good features and the fact that I never wanted to not finish it. However, since I am forced to round up or down, I am rounding down to 3 stars.

Then making them part of the healing process for 3 different storylines and I’m fully sold. George's storyline is that his wife got a dog she named Poppy before he passed (he hates it) and now George is left not knowing what to do since his wife took care of the house and dinner. Before you have any sympathy for George though, know he's nasty and rude to everyone and at one points calls two men "F" and I just hated him. He's nasty. Frankly his poor wife sounded like she was in an emotionally abusive relationship with the guy. At least that is how I read it. She could not even tell him she was ill because she knew how he was.
