Publisher's summary

An animal hater and an animal lover's paths collide the week leading up to Valentine's Day.

Melvin Lai inherited the last thing he ever wanted from his favorite uncle: a cocker spaniel. Now he's on the verge of losing his home to the unruly puppy and, much to his surprise, his heart when he meets Dr. Chu, Sparkle's vet.

Vivian Chu loves caring for her furry friends, so she can't fathom how anyone could think poorly of her new patient, especially his owner. To her, first impressions are everything, and the one Melvin left has her feeling disheartened and bruised - literally.

He longs to make her his valentine; she can't wait to escape him. It's going to take a miracle for Melvin to win Vivian's heart, but nothing's impossible when four-legged conspirators are involved.

Short and sweet!

A lovely feel good short story. The characters were likeable and believable, and it was nice and clean. Narration was also really good!

Narrator took this story to the next level :)!

Puppy Dog Tales was such a fun listen! Having read this story before (and loved it), I could really focus on the narrator's voice(s) and how she'd bring to life all the characters. I loved the different voices she used, and how she especially made both Vivian and Melvin relatable; but what I ended up enjoying the most from her performance was the voices of Vivian's mom, as well as the meows and barks from the pets that are a part of this story. These things definitely added another layer to the audio experience, making it even richer. Well done! ~ 5 stars

Story review: Puppy Dog Tales is an entertaining, short read by Liwen Ho. It's perfect for animal lovers (or not), sweet romance readers, and, especially, fans of the enemies to lovers trope :) I loved that Melvin got his own happy ending with Vivian, and the role Sparkle played in it.

Funny with great characters! 

This was a fun book.   A sweet and fun story.   Who ever thought that two people who's lives are so different could find some common ground?


I thought the scene when they first met was quite funny.   To start off on such a bad note,  I think I would have hoped the world would swallow me whole.

Excellent Sweet Animal Rom-Com

I loved this story when I read it, but the narrator did an amazing job bringing it to life! Definitely one I'll listen to many times.

Opposites attract!

What do you do when you don't like animals and are left a dog? Melvin is about to find out as he now is the proud owner of his uncle's cocker spaniel. When he takes the puppy to the vet, his life is about to change, as he sees the one he would love to have as his valentine. Vivian is an animal lover, the reason for becoming a vet, and now her first impression of Melvin is far from perfect. I loved this odd couple. It's so fun to watch Melvin as he adjusts and falls not only the vet, but for his new companion. He is awkward and uncomfortable, and it's so easy to picture him tripping over himself. Vivian is confident and loving. Put them together, and the clash is evident, but the chemistry strong! If you enjoy fun, humor and pets, this is the perfect listen. Narrated by the talented Satauna Howery, it was the spontaneous and entertaining!
