Lawyer for the Dog is a quirky but heartwarming story of a woman of a certain age who becomes the guardian ad-litum for a cute Schnauzer named Sherman. When divorce lawyer Sally Baynard's ex-husband appoints her to do a custody study for a dog, it opens a whole can of worms for all involved. Sally's ex has just separated from his second wife and is making overtures in Sally's direction which is stirring up old memories and feelings. Sherman's owners are in the middle of an acrimonious divorce and as Sally gets more involved she finds out there is more than meets the eye to that situation as well. Adding to Sally's stress, her mother has Alzheimer's and it is getting harder to keep her home. Finally, a handsome veterinarian is making Sally wonder if she could find love again at her age.
I really enjoyed this book. Sally is a wonderful character who can be brash and confident one moment and then insecure the next. As she becomes more involved emotionally in Sherman's situation she opens up to possibilities in her own life
