Thanks Celadon Books and NetGalley for the digital ARC! I might not have discovered this sweet girl-meets-dog story on my own.

Journalist Martha Teichner is the girl in this story, though from the title you might think it's Minnie, who, like Harry, is a Manhattan-dwelling bull terrier. Martha and Minnie go to the Union Square Market on Saturday mornings. They used to be accompanied by Goose, another BT, until he crossed the rainbow bridge. Martha and Minnie still miss Goose, but life goes on. One day they run into Teddy, and his human, Stephen, who it turns out are tasked with finding a home for 11-year-old bull terrier named Harry, whose human, Carol, has terminal cancer.

Harry has issues--lots of them. He takes a pawful of meds, has a special diet, and like other BTs is full of quirks and stubbornness. That Harry will end up with the ladies Teichner is a foregone conclusion from the title, but the core of the story is one of human friendship, for Carol Fertig has as big a personality as a bull terrier. She is an artist and designer and has a following of devoted friends, I loved all the dog love, the detailing of all the canines' likes, dislikes, traits, and deviant behaviors. I was disappointed that there weren't any photos, at least in the digital galley, an inexcusable lapse, dog privacy be damned.

The other content warning I'll give is for rich people. It's freaking amazing that Teichner has live-in help for her dog(s), but people who don't own an apartment in Chelsea and a beach house in South Carolina will definitely need a moment.
