A patron has asked whether we can find fiction which has "something to do with" dog training or therapy dogs. The patron would like either Teen or Adult Fiction, not Children's.

So far, we have:
books by Carol Lea Benjamin
books by Susan Conant
books by Virginia Lanier
Light a Single Candle by Beverly Butler - not a therapy dog nor really about dog training in general, but a girl who has a seeing eye dog
Danger Dog by Lynn Hall

Any other suggestions are appreciated!

Laurien Berenson's mysteries feature a woman who
breeds and shows Poodles. There are some training

Speaking of Carol Lea Benjamin, although my knowledge of New York is
limited, I feel her mystery series has a strong sense of place, of
"the Village" mostly. Not as strong as say Laua Lippman and
Baltimore, but it makes me picture it. Mary Mannix

Several of Emily Carmichael's light and humorous romances include therapy
dogs and a therapy cat. There are therapy animals mentioned in all these
books, but I can't remember if Piggy, the main dog character, is a therapy
dog in the first two. Dog training/therapy dogs aren't central to the story
in any of the books except Gone to the Dogs, but the animals are a big part
of the story.

If your patron wants to read the series in order, it goes:

Finding Mr. Right
Diamond in the Ruff
Gone to the Dogs
The Cat's Meow

Hope this helps.

Now this is driving me nuts (and yes, it's a very short trip). I read a
book not too long ago that featured a man with a service dog and it
wasn't made clear until the end of the book what's the dog purpose was
(it turned out the man was epileptic and the dog would warn him when an
attack was forthcoming, I think). He kept getting questions about the
dog and always replied with smart-*** remarks. I'm thinking this might

Among Susan Conant's dog mysteries, which are excellent and have lots of
training information, Barker Street Regulars focuses specifically on therapy
dog work.

Lynn Hall has written some wonderful teen-oriented dog books, including
Halsey's Pride and Soul of the Silver Dog.

Well, the gorgeous winner of the AKC/Eukanuba National Invitational dog
show reminds me to recommend Virginia Lanier's bloodhound stories, but
frankly, the best dog training stories are nonfiction, I think, my
favorite being Love Heels.
