The Wagging Tails Dogs’ Home

By Sarah Hope

What it’s about?

Life could not be busier for Ginny and the team at Wagging Tails.

The annual dog show is looming, a crucial event when it comes to fundraising and ensuring the
volunteers can continue the brilliant work they do.

But their trusted newspaper reporter, who always includes them in his weekly column, is retiring, only to be replaced with a city-slicker named Darryl. And Darryl, as Ginny soon learns, has no interest in articles he deems ‘below him’.
Not one to take no as an answer, Ginny becomes determined to get him to meet the dogs
themselves. One look at their cute faces and they’ll worm their way into his heart.

But what Ginny doesn’t anticipate is that Darryl might be more open-hearted than he seems. And
inviting him to the dogs’ home might be the best decision she ever made – even if she doesn’t realise it at first!

What I think:

If you like a cosy romance with a big heart, then I definitely The Wagging Tails Dogs’ Home.

The Dogs’ Home is preparing for its annual summer fair – the biggest fundraiser of the year. With bills to pay and dogs needing homes, it’s vital that Wagging Tails makes as much money as possible. To do that, they need some positive publicity, so Ginny heads to the local newspaper for support.

There, she soon finds that dog-loving veteran journalist Terry has been replaced by Darryl. Fresh from London, suited up Darryl is not interested in the rehousing venture or the fun day. He dismisses Ginny and can’t even be bothered to get her name right.

Determined not to take no for an answer, Ginny sets out to win over Darryl and persuade him to promote the fair and publicise the dogs that are looking for their forever homes.

This is enemies to lovers done really well. Darryl and Ginny’s relationship starts off rocky, but they gradually seem to have more in common than they first thought.

Ginny gets to see a softer side to Darryl, who is soon helping out at the rehousing centre and befriending the pooches.

There are lots of complications along the way. Ginny has trust issues after her ex-fiancé had an affair, and the wedding was cancelled. Wagging Tails helped her mend her broken heart, and she is passionate about her job. It takes her a while to believe that Darryl’s change of heart is genuine.

The dogs get a starring role in this book especially loveable labrador Luna who loves cuddles and quickly wins over all the staff. The dog back stories illustrate the many different ways dogs end up needing new homes and highlights the issue with unscrupulous breeding and puppy farms.

Overall, this is a heart-warming read that is perfect for the summer. Likeable main characters and a supporting cast that you will want to get to know better, a lovely Cornish setting and delightful dogs – what’s not to like!
