In this episode, I enjoyed an inspiring interview with author Rebecca Minelga about her heartwarming grumpy sunshine romance, FALSE START. When Jif and Miles meet after a tragedy, Nix, the wonderful therapy dog helps them discover love and how a special four-legged friend can heal hearts and bring comfort.

We enjoyed discussing the important differences between therapy, working and service dogs, along with Rebecca’s volunteer work with seeing eye dogs. This is a delightful conversation about love, healing, and the incredible ways dogs change lives. If you love romances with four-legged characters, this is the book (and episode) for you!
