Critical Praise

“Sprightly, romantic, occasionally sad but always diverting… The New Yorkers will inspire you to sit, stay, and beg for more.”

——Connie Ogle, The Miami Herald

“Schine is a sly writer with considerable dog and people skills… Fine and precise [in] execution… Filled with a sweetness of life.”

——The Boston Globe

“Poignant and frankly funny. Schine has a gift for illuminating wholly believable yet somehow unexpected characters with a single line.”

——Chicago Tribune

“Schine's sleek little parable about love and loss in the big city is neatly layered with intersecting stories of each character. A sweetly savvy paean to dogs and the people who love them.”

——Baltimore Sun
