Puppy Love is a sweet and funny new novel told from the charming perspective of naïve little dachshund Hercules, whose dog’s-eye-view offers fresh insight into the strange world of humans.

Hercules was rescued from the animal shelter by the sweet and loving Caroline. Life for this little dog would be perfect if it weren’t for Caroline’s new boyfriend, Thomas. Hercules and his new friend, Mr. Beck, a tomcat and a good judge of human nature, devise a shrewd plot to get rid of Thomas and to find a new companion for Caroline.

But when things don’t work out with the men that make the dachshund’s short list, no matter how many romantic moonlight strolls he gets her to take with them, it comes down to just one man they both might agree on . . .

Good book but let’s face it a little boring

Evan Moss can’t wait for next year when he gets his new dog and gets to “give him a big hug!” He has a huge reason to be excited for his future furry friend, because not only will he be a great companion, but he will also be a lifesaver. Literally.

Evan has epilepsy and suffers from severe, possibly life-threatening seizures. So when he and his parents (Lisa and Rob Moss) found out about a type of specially trained dog that can detect seizures and act to help him, they knew they needed to find a way to get one. That’s when this amazing 7-year-old boy had the idea to write his very own book to help raise the $13,000.00 needed to buy a seizure dog.

It’s one thing to have the idea to write the book and another to actually make it happen. But he did it – and did it really well. Evan wrote and illustrated “My Seizure Dog”, available on Amazon.com. He even got to have his very first book signing where about 650 people came to buy the book and meet him. “The lines stretched out the door and down the block.” Says Lisa. “We sold out of books and people still stood in line just to meet Evan”. One of his favorite parts of the day was meeting service dogs. “There were 7 or 8 service dogs in attendance and Evan got to meet them and interact with them. He loves dogs and it seemed like every time he began to get tired another dog would come in and he would be recharged”, Lisa says.

Everything about this story is exceptional. But the best part is that the Mosses have reached their fundraising goal to get Evan’s seizure dog. In fact, he exceeded his goal and the extra funds raised will go to 4 Paws for Ability to help several other children in similar situations with their fundraising efforts.

Having this dog will turn Evan’s life around. At one point, he was having 300-400 short seizures a month. Brain surgery stopped those from happening. But two years ago, much longer and more serious seizures started – the kind that can require serious medication and emergency medical response. Having a seizure dog can provide critical help.

The experience of Evan writing the book spurred Rob and Lisa to create the Seizure Tracker Web Site, a free and innovative way for epileptics (and other disease sufferers) to record and share the times and amounts of medications and events. The site has 8,000 registered users worldwide!

Despite having epilepsy, Evan is upbeat and excited about living life to the fullest. And in June 2012, when he receives his new dog, his life will become more full!

I’ve read better

Boo is just your average dog who loves chicken, running outside, following his big brother around, and squeaky toys. He also happens to have 1.7 million Facebook fans, enjoys sitting on the laps of celebrities, currently holds the title of “the world’s cutest dog,” and just released his own book with Chronicle Books. Okay, so maybe he’s not your average dog. But he is a total doggy sweetheart and we were beyond thrilled here at Dog Milk to get an interview with Boo, the most adorable internet-phenom ever!

You currently have over 1.7 million Facebook fans, which is completely ludicrous, even for the world’s cutest dog. How on earth did you manage to amass such a huge following? Is it just enough to be cute or do you have some other special powers we’re not aware of?

I’m just a normal dog with no special powers. Many of my Facebook friends say my smile makes them smile, which makes me happy. I think people visit my Facebook page when they need a break.

I think your short, teddy bear haircut is just plain adorable. But it is a little unusual for a Pomeranian. Looking at your brother Buddy, it looks like he prefers to keep his long. When and why did you decide to go short? Do you have any plans to grow it out and give us a whole new Boo look?

It started out as a fluke, but has since become my signature look! Buddy and I have different hair textures. Mine is coarse and thick, whereas Buddy’s is long and silky. No plans to grow it out because I can wear more fun outfits with this haircut.

Here at Dog Milk, we’re always on the hunt for the coolest dog products out there. We’re dying to know, from treats to toys to apparel, what are some of your favorite products?

My favorite treats are Dogswell Jerky Treats, which are all natural and taste like people food. I love all sorts of toys and clothes. My favorite toys are squeaky toys. Squeak! Squeak! My favorite shirt is a casual t-shirt with brown and orange stripes. Orange is my favorite color!

You’ve been on Good Morning America, sat on the lap of celebrities, and are now an accomplished author. You must get recognized in public all of the time. How are you and your human handling the fame? Are you still able to lead a relatively normal doggy-life?

Having lots of fans on Facebook and having my own book is fun, but my everyday life has stayed the same. I hang around the house, sleep in, eat my favorite food, play with Buddy and cuddle with my Mom. That’s all I really need. Although I think after meeting them in person, I have crushes on Lara Spencer and Robin Roberts from GMA.

Boo, you’ve truly done it all! What advice do you have for other dogs wanting to follow in your paw prints?

I am most happy just being myself. Don’t be afraid of taking chances. If you want to wear fun clothes, have a unique hairstyle or play in the mud, go for it!

Boo: The Life of the World’s Cutest Dog is currently on sale right here through Chronicle Books. Chronicle has been generous enough to offer all of you 25% off + free US ground shipping when you enter the code BOO at checkout. I hope all of you pick up a copy! I haven’t been able to stop smiling at my copy since it arrived. And while you’re over at Chronicle, be sure to check out Boo’s oh-so cute page full of Boo downloads, videos, special offers, and more!
