Puppy Love

Wilderness firefighter Harrison Parks, who needs a diabetic service dog, doesn't know what's in store for him in this audiobook. He finds his way to dog trainer Sophie Vasquez, who owns Puppy Promise with her two sisters. Narrator Lauren Sweet does a good job voicing Sophie and her sisters, giving them distinct voices that match their personalities. Sweet has Sophie sounding subdued in her interactions with her sisters but more brazen with Harrison, who brings out Sophie's spirit. Sophie matches Harrison with a Pomeranian named Bubbles, and the listener can easily envision Harrison falling for the tiny dog. Harrison is a gruff man with a difficult past, and the voice Sweet gives him doesn't quite match what most listeners would expect. Sweet makes up for this with the other characters in the story. And listeners will fall in love with Bubbles. S.B. � AudioFile 2019, Portland, Maine
