The Puppy Diaries

When Sophia brings home Dennis - a scruffy Parson terrier with big eyes and even bigger opinions - she''s armed with Pinterest-perfect visions of puppy bliss. But after a sudden breakup, she finds herself solo-parenting a creature who snacks on foam earplugs and shreds slippers for fun. And yet, amid the chaos, Dennis becomes an unlikely source of comfort through a turbulent year. In this candid and laugh-out-loud memoir, between bad Hinge dates and scraping poo off the carpet, Sophia reflects on the oddities of modern life: the awkwardness of being single in a coupled-up world, the pressure to curate perfection online, the strange parallels between raising dogs and babies, and the realisation that building a life isn''t always linear - but it can still be whole. By the end of their first year together, Dennis has done more than turn Sophia''s world upside down - he''s remade it in his image: wilder, messier and infinitely more alive. Told with warmth, wit and total honesty, this is Sophia''s true story of heartbreak, healing - and one unforgettable pup. For anyone who''s ever loved a dog - or been saved by one - this is a story of quiet resilience, unpredictable joy and the soft weight of a small body curled beside you when it matters most.
