It’s rare that a book can capture the special love between a dog and his humans, but Sue Pethick accomplishes exactly that in her heartwarming debut novel, PET FRIENDLY, about an unlikely road trip with a sweet, mischievous mutt and a troubled couple. Todd Dwyer, a successful app designer, wasn’t planning to adopt a dog, but when his Uncle Bertie dies and leaves his little mutt Archie homeless, Todd can’t help welcoming the pooch home.  Archie could charm the marrow out of a bone, but Todd’s girlfriend Gwen is less than impressed with the instant bond the fluffy white ball of fur makes with her boyfriend. When things go awry the first night, she insists that Todd give Archie to his sister, Claire, whose rural home is a day’s drive away. But sometimes our furry friends can see what’s right for us, even when we can’t. Todd and Archie hit the road, but circumstances compel them to make a detour to a quaint hotel run by Todd’s childhood friend, Emma Carlisle.  Archie’s unerring canine instincts and loyal heart, he may help Todd and Emma see the happiness that’s waiting just under their noses.
