This is a cute shorter love story. Jake and Emma are married, trying to start a family and happy in Ca. One rainy day Jake is taking their Westie Dog to the vet and “dies” in a car accident. When he sees Emma in the hospital he discovers he now Jake the husband trapped in Jake the dogs body. Jake narrates the story and I think gives a wonderful perspective of life through a dogs eyes. A quick read. I received a copy of this arc in exchange for a fair and honest review.

5 fun stars! ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️

OMG. This book! Cute, cute, CUTE!

I’m not going to write a review detailing the plot. Just know that a wife loses her husband (Jake) in a car accident. Their little Westie doggie (also named Jake) was sitting in his lap at the time of the accident. In his second life, husband Jake comes back as doggie Jake and a super fun journey begins!

This book is a must read for any dog lover. It’s just way too sweet to pass up! As a major lover of dogs (I have 3 of my own and 1 granddog), I thought this was just the best! I don’t know how I came across this book, but I’m so glad I did! Quick, funny and heartwarming, You Lucky Dog will keep you smiling throughout - and I just loved the ending! 💕

Thank you to NetGalley, Stewart’s Grove Press and Debra Finerman for a copy of this book in exchange for my review.

When Emma's husbands Jake is killed in a car crash she is devastated, the only good thing being that the dog survived. Then things get really weird..... The dog tells her that he is her husband transferred to the dog's body!

This book is absolutely mad but I loved it!

Emma's life wasn't the same again after her husband died in a car accident. Her only consolation and reason to move forward was their West Highland terrier dog Jake, who was lucky to be alive after getting trapped inside the car with her husband. On the day of the funeral though, Emma got the surprise of her life when her dog talked to her and revealed that he was actually her husband, Jake!

A man in a dog's body, now that's something not every widow gets to live with everyday. How lucky could Emma be?

I enjoyed every page of this book. It's more of a story of a wife and her late husband who still continued to live. Jake the dog was already cute and cuddly, but Jake the human turned into a dog, he's even more adorable! I loved how Emma treated him like a real human and not just a pet; I love Jake's protectiveness and nurturing side. I love how he turned from a squirming terrier with a bow into a superstar dog hero. 

For dog lovers like me, this book is such a pleasure to read and dig your canines into while chewing a rubber ducky. I was having a ruff day earlier when I started reading You Lucky Dog, and before I knew it, I was wagging my eyebrows and chomping on my stuffed teddy bear while laughing out loud at Jake the Dog and Emma the human.. This has been such a paws-itively happy, funny and terrier-ific story!  Uh, sorry for the dog puns, I am on the roll, couldn't help it. OK, I'll stop now; don't want to be accused of barking up the wrong tree!
