"Dog" days of Summer

August 26 is National Dog Day! Here are some titles to get you through these 'Dog Days' of Summer.



Live and Let Growl by Laurien Berenson

Lily and the Octopus by Steven Rowley
Rowley has lovingly captured what it is like to be totally invested in caring for another life, another heart.

Just Life by Neil Abramson
A NYC veterinarian operating a no-kill rescue shelter must keep her wits about her after a deadly, sweeping virus is believed to be carried and spread by dogs.

The Dog Who Saved Me by Susan Wilson
