About the book:  Sit, Stay, Love (Harvest House, April 2016) Take one abrasive professional athlete, a quirky out-of-work schoolteacher, and an overweight geriatric dog, and you're ready for a lesson in love . . . Tippy style. Pro baseball pitcher Cal Crawford is not a dog guy. When he inherits his deceased mother's elderly dog, Tippy, he's quick to call on a pet-sitting service. Gina isn't thrilled to be a dog sitter when her aspirations lie in the classroom. Furthermore, she can't abide the unfriendly Cal, a man with all the charm of a wet towel. But with no other prospects and a deep love for all things canine, she takes the job caring for Tippy. As Gina travels through Cal's world with Tippy in tow, she begins to see Cal in a different light. Gina longs to show Cal the God-given blessings in his life that have nothing to do with baseball or fame. When her longing blooms into attraction, Gina does her best to suppress it. But Cal is falling in love with her too . . . Discover the charming story of Tippy, the dog who brought a family together.

Author Dana Mentink has written a wonderful story about a dog who helps people find love and a real home. Poor Tippy  is alone when his owner dies. He has to go with his owner's son because she died. He has no time for a dog so he hires someone to take care of the dog. Next thing you know although they are totally different, 2 people and a dog start to get along. Was this meant to be? I give this book a 5/5. I was given this book by Litfuse Publicity Group for a  review. These are all my opinions.
