About this ebook

A heart-warming and deliciously funny story about the world’s worst behaved dog and how he trained his human how to love herself again.

Through the haze of vodka and self-loathing, Hazel Roundtree saw the poor creature lying in a ditch.

One brown eye. One blue.

Covered in mud and crying from pain, the puppy was desperately trying to free itself from a hopeless situation.

She almost kept walking by. She had her own problems and besides… no one had ever stopped to help her.

Who we’re ultimately meant to be is a journey without end, but there’s always a defined start…

Hazel had no idea the dog would be her beginning, her second chance, the miracle she never saw coming. She named him Atticus. He grew up to be a very bad—and completely awesome—dog. He took Hazel on a life-changing journey filled with mischievous adventure to find her happily ever after. In the end, Hazel grew up to be completely awesome, too.

Ratings and reviews

I liked this different kind of read. It was a fun one that had some sad parts, but it was a good story. I love dogs and love to treat them like they are my kid...lol Hazel and Atticus was just the story I needed at the time. Also this story will make you believe that everything happens for a reason.

When Sawyer Bennett said she was writing a story about Atticus, I was just so excited. Putting into words some of her real life experiences with her own Atticus, this story felt that much more believable! Atticus and Hazel are the perfect definition of what it means to start new, discovering yourself, opening your eyes to the world around you, and meeting new people along the way. This story was told from Atticus (a dog) and Hazel's point of views, and it was perfect. You get the hilarious and fun Atticus view of life, and then the more serious Hazel side of things. Hazel has had a rough start, and she finds that Atticus is who she was really missing in her life. Their story is heartfelt, funny, loving and just so genuine!

WOW did I ever love this book! I'd love to give it more than 5 stars. The parts written from the point of view of Atticus were definitely my favorite parts. This is an amazing story of a woman's journey from a pretty bad place in her life to a very fulfilling life and her own HEA. Everything starts to turn around after she stumbles upon a little bundle of fur that would ultimately change her life. The story is packed with emotion. I laughed (a lot!), I cried (dang it Ms. Bennett), I cheered. Every character in this story is special but Atticus definitely stole the show. This book needs to be on everyone's must read list. I highly recommend it.
