Author Sue Pethick presents a warm and fuzzy love story about a passionate pet owner, a smitten news man, and an unforgettable dog who steals everybody's hearts . . .
When her cuddly canine companion Boomer is diagnosed with a rare heart condition, Jennifer Westbrook decides to take a leave of absence from her busy PR job-and take Boomer on the greatest road trip of his life.
Charting a course from Chicago to California, Jennifer plans some pet-friendly pit stops for her four-legged friend, including a dog show, a fire hydrant museum, and a factory full of squeaky toys. But when she tries to sneak Boomer into a NASCAR press box-disguised as her seeing-eye dog-Jennifer's cover is blown by a curious, but very cute reporter named Nathan Koslow.
Boomer takes an instant shine to Nathan, unlike the other men in Jennifer's life. When the charming journalist asks to join them on their journey, she can't say no. But when she learns that someone has created a website called "Boomer's Bucket List"-and it's gone totally viral-the trip takes a wildly unexpected turn for Jennifer, Nathan, and the dog who brought them together.
It almost seems as if Boomer's last wish is that his two favorite humans fall madly, deeply, in love . . .
"Grab a treasured pet and a box of tissues before sitting down to read this endearing tale. Pethick has a knack for writing dogs with personality, and Boomer is no exception. Both witty and emotional, this touching novel is a journey through America's heartland. The romance takes a backseat while supporting the plot in all the best ways. This is a great road trip read!"
