About this book

"All alone except for her loyal mutt Lupin, 18-year-old Suguri moves form the countryside to the big city to find a job and a new life. In her first job at a pet store, she meets an assortment of quirky dogs and even stranger owners. What she lacks in retail experience, she makes up for through her natural rapport with all things wagging and fluffy! The pressure is on for Suguri to make at least one sale during her training at the pet shop. She's been all over town with Noa, the store manager's black Labrador, advertising the store, and new customers are finally showing up. Among them is an otaku who realizes that dogs won't judge him as harshly as humans. Will Suguri have her first sale?!"--P. [4] of cover.
