About this listen

“Perfect to read on the beach.”–The Boston Globe

A burned-out veterinarian takes a much-needed beach vacation, where a charming surfer makes waves in her love life, and a unique foster pup renews her passion for her work.

Exhausted veterinarian Morgan Pearce is feeling overworked and under-thanked, so when two favorite clients ask her to watch their special needs senior dog in their Nantucket home, she jumps at the chance for a summer break. She hopes her time on the island will be a reset from the stress of her everyday life, but her chill vacation vibe takes a hit when she gets roped into fostering a challenging, anxious dog and helping plan the local rescue group’s glittery annual fundraiser.

Her trip starts to feel more like a vacation when Morgan begins falling for Nathan Keating, an irresistible entrepreneur who thinks every problem can be solved on a surfboard. Just as the summer is shaping up to be the magical refresh she needs, thanks to a fling that feels like the beginning of something real and Hudson, the foster dog who reminds her how much she loves her job, a visit from her estranged brother and the discovery of who Nathan really is changes everything. Morgan finds herself at a crossroads, trying to determine if mistakes from the past must define the future, or if she should forgive, forget, and grab hold of a chance to finally rescue herself.

Critic reviews

"With huge heart, great tenderness, and plenty of unforgettable moments between dogs and their humans, Victoria Schade reminds readers that sometimes it takes getting away to find out where you are truly meant to be. Dog Friendly is a page-turning, feel-good story that—like a wet nose and a wagging tail—will work its way straight into readers’ hearts. Add this literary gem to your TBR immediately!”
Kristy Woodson Harvey, New York Times Bestselling author of The Wedding Veil

"I was happily caught up in Dog Friendly from page one. The dogs are adorable, of course, but there are very real and weighty issues for Morgan and Nathan to face and overcome. Readers are there, with them, watching the sunset from the sandy dunes, holding our breath as Hudson struggles with anxiety, and falling in love—the kind that lasts. Victoria Schade delivers an easy-breezy read, balancing emotional punches with warm fuzzies—for the humans and their canine compatriots." —Sasha Summers, USA Today bestselling author of The Sweetest Thing

"You don't have to be a dog person to love this honest yet hopeful book, but the animal lover in me delighted in Victoria Schade's latest, with my favorite pups, swoon-worthy love interest, and the most memorable happily-ever-after to date. Dog Friendly will give you all the feels." —Jenni L. Walsh, author of Becoming Bonnie and The Call of the Wrens

Great Story

Loved the story. I felt Morgan’s anxiety. The off color language and description of the sexual encounters did not lend anything positive to the story line. I was disappointed in the characters’ behavior. I would have enjoyed the book more without the vulgar language and sex.

Enjoyed dog/human bonds

Especially the plot twist at the end. Did not see that coming. Would love to read a sequal.

Warning

Much of this has to do with suicide ideation and stress of modern day veterinary staff. Started out pretty depressing. And was equally disturbing in different parts of book.
Cute story otherwise.
Narrator slipped in to some definite babyish talk I did not appreciate. And it wasn’t when people were talking to the dogs.
Good for dog lovers with a balanced mental/emotional state.

A Perfect Escape

This story starts out bringing attention to the very real threat of burnout and the high stress life of veterinarians…and then, we take a much needed escape to Nantucket! This vacation read has it all-dogs, surfing, romance and a touch of drama. Dog Friendly leaves you with hope and a desire to start afresh!
