And me, I've made this happen, I've pushed it, despite my husband's resistance and discouragement. Despite all the chaos in my life. Despite the fact that I usually defer, capitulate, quietly hide inside silence, in order to avoid the guilt that comes with upsetting others. But that's not why I'm nervous. I'm nervous because I'm wondering, will he like me? I really want him to like me".

"What I thought was going to be an ordinary reading project has turned out to be a truly profound experience. You've written a gorgeous love letter to your Monty and hit a key that so many are searching for in explaining the emotions we struggle to define as we go about living our lives."

" In Heart Dog, Andrea offers a deeply authentic and moving account of transformation through her relationship with her beloved dog, Monty. Her willingness to explore both the depths of grief and the expansiveness of love makes this book a powerful testament to the healing potential of the human-animal bond. What makes this story so compelling is its honesty. Andrea does not present a perfect path, but a real one, filled with questions, doubts, breakthroughs, and ultimately, trust. Through Monty, we see how animals can guide us toward greater compassion, presence, and connection when we are willing to listen. A touching and inspiring read for anyone who has ever loved an animal and been changed by that love."
