The hilarious and heartfelt chronicle of a woman learning
the secrets of love, health, and happiness from some very
surprising teachers: her dogs. Julie Klam was thirty,
single, and working as a part-time clerk in an insurance
company, wondering if she would ever meet the man she could
spend the rest of her life with. And then it happened. She
met the irresistible Otto, her first in a long line of
Boston terriers, and fell instantly in love. You Had Me at Woof is the often hilarious and always sincere story of how
one woman discovered life's most important lessons from her
relationships with her canine companions. From Otto, Julie
realized what it might feel like to find "the one." She
learned to share her home, her heart, and her limited
resources with another, and she found an authentic friend in
the process. But that was just the beginning. Over the years
her brood has grown to one husband, one daughter, and
several Boston terriers. And although she had much to learn
about how to care for them-walks at 2 a.m., vet visits,
behavior problems-she was surprised and delighted to find
that her dogs had more wisdom to convey to her than she had
ever dreamed. And caring for them has made her a better
person-and completely and utterly opened her heart.
Riotously funny and unexpectedly poignant, You Had Me at
Woof recounts the hidden surprises, pleasures, and
revelations of letting any mutt, beagle, terrier, or bulldog
go charging through your world.
