The Foxe & The Hound, bears little resemblance to the family movie that has a very similar sounding name except in one very important aspect. Both are stories that will no doubt especially endear themselves to the hearts of dog lovers the world over.
After falling in love with the tiny puppy she chose to name Mouse at the pound, and taking him home, Madeline quickly realizes that he's going to grow much larger than she'd been lead to believe, and that keeping him, and doing right by him is going to be a challenge.
Adam Foxe, who manages to have two encounters with Madeline and Mouse in the one day, first as Mouse's victim and only shortly thereafter as his vet, has a very different challenge on his hands. On the one hand, after the events that led him to abandon his home and practice in Chicago, he's got absolutely no interest in getting back into the dating scene anytime soon. On the other hand, he can't seem to stop thinking about the brunette who's in over her head with the big dog with a little name, nor can he seem to stop running into her. On the other hand, his endearingly interfering mother is insisting that he bring the girlfriend that he just made up on the spot to the family barbecue on the weekend.
Yes, that's three hands and that's just a tiny hint as to how muddled and confused this wonderful story can get.
The thing about wanting something and not wanting it at the same time is that it inevitably sends off mixed messages because they're not really mixed at all, just overlapping and contradictory, and R.S. Grey's adorably delightful romantic comedy is dominated by two characters who aren't entirely sure what they want or when they want it and time and again confuse not just each other, but even themselves about what's going on between them.
Even allowing for having to spend a few hours at work, I sprinted through this book in a matter of hours and, for the most part, had a smile on my face all the way through.
There were moments that were tense and moments that were contemplative, moments that were sad, and moments that were beautifully intimate, but for the most part, the most memorable parts, were just delightfully funny, so much so that on several occasions I felt compelled to read excerpts out to the wife to share the mirth.
So if you're in the need for a pick-me-up. Something to lighten your load and brighten your day (or night) I heartily recommend this book. It certainly brightened my day
