Puppy Dog Tales

De: Liwen Ho

Narrado por: Satauna Howery

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.

Puppy and a kitten

This is really a good story it happens around Valentine's which is even better. someone always knows what you need.

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.

This was a great book! I loved it!

I loved everything about it! It made me laugh! I’m a dog lover, but, cats are adorable.

Absolutely delightful!

Oh, my goodness. This was a terrifically fun, lighthearted book, but it has a semi-serious, tender message. (I shan’t reveal what it is. You’ll have to read the book.)

Melvin is slightly neurotic. Vivian is strong and feisty. Liwen does an excellent job of making their disparate personalities work.

I greatly enjoyed the humor, especially the song lyrics. I found them hysterical. The details about canine care are a little gross, but that just helps me relate better to Melvin’s weak stomach.

The dialogue is excellent. The narrator really adds to the story. She does a great job of providing emotion and inflection.

My one quibble is that risotto is not pasta. Risotto is made with arborio rice. Lowe. might be thinking of orzo, which is similarly shaped to rice but is actually a pasta. Fun fact: couscous is pasta as well.
