ANYONE BUT YOU by Jennifer Cruisie, 1996

FIC
CRUSIE

What the forty-year-old and divorced Nina Askew wants is an energetic young dog to cheer her up. She cannot stop herself, however, from rescuing the sad-eyed, flop-eared, dumpy and apparently depressed hound scheduled for execution. Soon named Fred, the dog promptly introduces Nina to the handsome but much younger emergency room doctor in the apartment under hers. Nina i convinced she is too old for Alex, though her friends and her hormones tell her otherwise.

Its refusal to take itself seriously and the endearing Fred make this light-hearted romance a treat.
