The Blurb
Translated by Shelley Frisch. Hercules is a dachshund, and his new mistress Caroline is the greatest human being on earth. She's the one who rescued him from the animal shelter, who smells of summer and strawberries, and who laughs when the little pup snuggles up with her on the sofa.
So when Caroline is badly treated by her bossy, dog-hating boyfriend, Hercules decides it's high time he rescued his mistress for a change. And so begins an epic quest to find his favourite woman the perfect man...Touching, original, and very funny, Puppy Love is a story about love, life, and the best friend a girl could ever have.
Hercules, adopted name (formally known as Carl-Leopald Von Escherbach) would have us believe he is a pedigree Dachshund, though it seems the vet knows more and there is a little terrier blood in him, too.
He finds himself at the dog shelter and is adopted by the lovely Caroline, Violin maker and is taken to his new home. He is not so trusting of the man in Caroline's life and takes it upon himself to convince Caroline she needs a new man.
This is a very cute and easy to read story narrated by Hercules himself. I did enjoy the story, but feel it would be much more entertaining to see the film version (I believe it is soon to be a film) and would be interested to see who is to be cast as the voice of Hercules.
This was a cute read.
3 out of 5 for me! I liked it.
