About Sit, Stay, Love:

Take one abrasive professional athlete, a quirky out-of-work schoolteacher, and an overweight geriatric dog, and you're ready for a lesson in love . . . Tippy style.

Pro baseball pitcher Cal Crawford is not a dog guy. When he inherits his deceased mother's elderly dog, Tippy, he's quick to call on a pet-sitting service.

Gina isn't thrilled to be a dog sitter when her aspirations lie in the classroom. Furthermore, she can't abide the unfriendly Cal, a man with all the charm of a wet towel. But with no other prospects and a deep love for all things canine, she takes the job caring for Tippy.

As Gina travels through Cal's world with Tippy in tow, she begins to see Cal in a different light. Gina longs to show Cal the God-given blessings in his life that have nothing to do with baseball or fame. When her longing blooms into attraction, Gina does her best to suppress it. But Cal is falling in love with her too . . .

Discover the charming story of Tippy, the dog who brought a family together.

My thoughts:



Cal is a famous baseball player who's mother passed away from cancer, he makes a lot of money and doesn't have time for a dog. Gina is forced to take a job as a dog sitter, after being unemployed for weeks, although she longs be a teacher. Together they are in for a wild ride due to circumstances beyond their control. 
Gina is always trying to prove that she can take care of herself  and Cal is trying to prove that he is still a great pitcher after having a bad season. Both characters come to the realization that God's plans for us may be different than the plans we have for ourselves. As a dog lover, I couldn't help but be entertained by the antics of little Tippy.  I would read more of Dana's books, especially if they involve other fun canine antics. Purchase a copy here and know that the author donates a portion of the proceeds towards senior dog care.
