This book: man's new best friend?

A warm and uplifting opening as we meet Kate, bored and underwhelmed by the reality of adult like, until a chance encounter with Dan and cocker spaniel Crumpet begins to make her think about her life - and the paths open to her.
Soon, Kate is embroiled in a world of poodles, labradors and cavapoos - but, as a reader, what I want to know is: will this really help her find what she really wants from life?
