“Sprightly, romantic, occasionally sad but always diverting . . . The New Yorkers will inspire you to sit, stay, and beg for more.” —Connie Ogle, The Miami Herald

“Schine is a sly writer with considerable dog and people skills. . . . Fine and precise [in] execution . . . Filled with a sweetness of life.” —The Boston Globe

“Poignant and frankly funny. Schine has a gift for illuminating wholly believable yet somehow unexpected characters with a single line.” —Chicago Tribune

“Schine writes about her characters with affection and humor . . . and has created a love letter to the city that even a rural cat fancier could enjoy.” —The Christian Science Monitor

“There's plenty of unexpected romance, but it would be a mistake to think that this is merely a love story about dogs or their people. It's really about Schine's love for the city that contains them--a Manhattan of the not-so-distant past. . . . [A] rich snapshot of urban life.” —Time Out (New York)

“Schine's sleek little parable about love and loss in the big city is neatly layered with intersecting stories of each character. A sweetly savvy paean to dogs and the people who love them.” —Baltimore Sun
