Reviews
"I know all too well what it is to be 'saved' by a dog and this is the theme of Brookfield's delightful and entertaining 'memoir of a meltdown, recovery and a golden doodle'" -- Daily Mail "A charming novel for anyone who knows the true power of a dog's love" -- Yours "Heartwarming... I was impressed by the author's bravery to write so openly about her recovery from such a grief-stricken time. I found her honest description of heart-break, despair and seeking her sense of balance again very thought-provoking'" -- Dogs Monthly "A poignant and often hilarious examination of how a zest for life can re-emerge from the rubble of loss. Written with the novelist's unflinching eye for telling detail and the courage of self-reflection, Brookfield's writing entertains as much as it enriches" -- Spalding Guardian "A captivating, charming memoir" -- Cambs Times and Barking and Dagenham Post, 'I know all too well what it is to be 'saved' by a dog and this is the theme of Brookfield's delightful and entertaining 'memoir of a meltdown, recovery and a golden doodle'' Daily Mail .

Synopsis
A memoir by bestselling fiction author Amanda Brookfield about how owning a dog was the path to taking back true ownership of herself., A powerful and heartfelt memoir. After her mother's sudden death and the end of a passionate relationship brought her close to breakdown, Amanda Brookfield needed something to revive her optimistic spirit. Her two sons had left home and she found herself feeling fragile. She decided that the first step to recovery would be a trip to collect a gorgeous doodle puppy called Mabel. In this powerful and heartfelt memoir, Amanda takes us along with her on her journey as a new dog owner. Dragged her out of her shell for daily walks by Mabel brings the outside world knocking on her door: conversations with other dog owners brings new friends, and the shift brings with it reflections and a deeper insight into her relationship with her mother as well as other relationships in her life and how she feels about herself. Mabel has helped her take stock of her past, enlivened her present and reawakened her sense of a future. Who could have known that owning a dog would be the path to taking back true ownership of herself?, After the death of her mother and the end of a post-divorce relationship leave her heartbroken, novelist Amanda Brookfield finds her once secure world imploding. As despair closes in, she talks of getting a puppy to revive her optimistic spirit. Amanda is advised that her lifestyle will not suit becoming a dog-owner but she can't resist Mabel, a beautiful golden doodle puppy. Arming herself with an arsenal of equipment, Amanda learns that there are no short-cuts to training and caring for a dog. Through battling daily challenges and constantly regrouping, Amanda realises she is starting to come to terms with her bereavement and the prospect of facing the rest of her life alone. For the Love of a Dog tells the bigger, more poignant story about the labour of emotional recovery after the trauma of loss. Mabel shines like a light throughout, the unwitting architect of rebuilding self-belief. Mabel's own journey is equally captivating: as she blossoms into a mischievous, endearing head-turner of a companion - as affectionate as she is glorious.
