I saw a book at Borders a few weeks ago that I now want to get, but can't remember the name or author. I went back to the store this afternoon but had no luck finding it. :( I'm hoping if I post a synopsis, someone can point me in the right direction.

It's about a guy named Mike who has a Boston terrier (at least I think that's what it is). He thinks the dog is a boy, but then turns out he's a she. Mike tries to get the dog to conform to being a girl (he dresses her up, etc), but both are unhappy. I forget exactly how it ends, but everyone ends up happy (of course!) I think it is set in NYC, but not sure about that.

The book itself was hardcover, and probably pretty recent, judging by how it was displayed at the store.

Anyone?

TIA!!

We have 2 pugs, so DS has a bunch of pug books :) Of course, after finding the reviews, apparently it's not a pug either...LOL
