If you\u2019re a dog lover, or someone that enjoys stories of fate, When Harry Met Minnie by Martha Teichner may be for you. This is a heartwarming, emotional and sensitively written memoir brought to us by an author most famous for her work as an American television news correspondent.<\/div>\n

The story is one that the author reports as an unexplainable coincidence which changed everything in her life. Having been part of the New York City dog walking scene, bull terrier walking Martha meets Steven with his dog at a farmer\u2019s market. Through conversation about dogs, Steven reveals his good friend Carol also has a bull terrier. Carol has terminal cancer and wishes to a find a forever home for her beloved bull terrier Harry when she can no longer care for him. Martha has been searching for an older male bull terrier for her dog Minnie. Introductions are made. Martha and Carol have so much in common, and Harry meets Minnie. <\/p>\n

<\/div>\n
Through the course of several weeks, the two dogs spend more time together. The antics of the dogs are hilariously written, similar to what you expect from a new parent marvelling at the wonders of their ever-changing baby\u2019s own growth and development. <\/p>\n

Book Review<\/b><\/span><\/p>\n

I really liked When Harry Met Minnie. This book has many moments of joy and describes the true friendship that quickly developed between the two women. There are also moments of sadness which left me in tears. The book is both engaging and entertaining. It\u2019s no wonder that many publishers were willing to publish this book.<\/p>\n

Audiobook Review<\/b><\/span><\/p>\n

I listened to my library\u2019s audiobook copy of the book which was narrated by the author. Given her professional background, her performance made it easy to listen to. I loved the fact that she narrated the book so the story could be told in her own voice, as it magnified the compassion and intimacy of this beautiful story. I highly recommend this format to those of you who enjoy audiobooks.
