first KEY POINT

Dogs — Cute but also insightful!

They say you’re either a dog person or a cat person. Of course, you can be both, but most people have a preference. Julie Klam is a dog person, for sure. Unable to look a dog in the eye and not to want to take it home is a problem for many people, but have you ever stopped to think that maybe dogs have more to teach us than we realize?We assume that dogs are just cute and cuddly. They’re soft, wonderful to stroke, and they’re always happy when we return home at the end of a long day. However, dogs are loyal, fiercely protective, loving, and empathetic. These are all qualities which humans should have, but many don’t use. In that case, perhaps we could all do with taking a leaf out of a dog’s book.You Had Me at Woof is the story of a woman who not only adores dogs but found that with every dog she fostered, either long-term or short-term, she learned a new life lesson. Full of ups and downs, laughs, and tears, our pet dogs can teach us about love, true heartfelt happiness, loyalty, and of course, sadness too.For Julie Klam, it all started with Otto, a cute yet demanding Boston Terrier who not only stole her heart but taught her what it would be like to be in a long-term relationship. Even when she married and had a child of her own, dogs continued to show her new ways to enrich her life while helping them at the same time.By the end of You Had Me at Woof, you’ll almost certainly be a dog person!
