Dog Stories With Happy Endings
Connie Newcomb’s second book is a vivid walk down memory lane for anyone who ever loved a pet. From her earliest childhood pets to her most recent rescues, Newcomb’s dogs have been steadfast companions and the source of family legend. Now she shares those accounts along with family and friend’s memories of their pets in this warm and witty collection that’s a testament to the bonds we create with our beloved animals.
SUMMARY
When Connie Newcomb brought home her first Chihuahua, she never expected that just a few years later she’d have a Westminster award winner and a house full of dogs… Or that she’d publish DOG SHOW CONFIDENTIAL: Sneaking in the Back Door of Westminster, a hilarious behind-the-scenes look at the dog show industry.

What They Are Saying
Ms. Newcomb’s funny, touching tales of the quirky personalities, packed schedules, and not-always-so-cooperative pups, were fascinating and memorable. In her easily relatable voice she educates the reader (I knew nothing about the dog show world before her book), while offering great appreciation for the dogs and mentors in her life. Her new book promises more stories of the pets that molded Ms. Newcomb into the entertaining writer and animal lover she is today.
A funny, discerning look at the inside quirky realm of the high brow dog show circuit! I thoroughly enjoyed it and have recommended it to my book club! More, please!
Dog Stories with Happy Endings is charming, funny, and heartfelt–a joy to read. Anyone who has ever loved a dog will love Connie’s book!

“DOG STORIES WITH HAPPY ENDINGS is filled with dogs (and a few cats) that left indelible impressions on the families that loved them. Featuring pets like German shepherd Rin Tin Tin and a lucky rescued mutt named Penny Lane, the book spotlights those furry companions whose adventures—and misadventures—became part of family history. Here we meet a 120-pound Rhodesian ridgeback named Kenya who could steal food from neighbors’ picnic tables without leaving a trace, as well as pit bull mix Garcia, a force of nature who enjoyed barking at the moon and chasing the tides at midnight. In this compilation, Newcomb also tells the stories of quintessential “bad dog” Piccolo, a tiny Chihuahua who terrorized an entire neighborhood, and her first Corgi, Simon, who introduced her to the bizarre and quirky dog show world. Uplifting and light-hearted, this book is a celebration of dogs and family that will resonate with anyone who has ever owned a pet.”
