Dogs Always Know

"Dogs Always Know" by Elisabeth Sanxay Holding is a charming short story that explores how love can blossom in the most unlikely of places. The book portrays Miss Selby, a proper young woman from Boston, and Mr. Anderson, a good-natured yet clumsy New Yorker, as they navigate a series of humorous mishaps and social awkwardness within the walls of a shared boarding house. The heart of the story is in their evolving relationship, complicated by a well-intentioned but meddlesome neighbor, and societal pressures. As Miss Selby and Mr. Anderson learn to get along with each other, a dog named Sandy appears, and ironically, is the animal able to bridge the gap between them. Filled with wit and gentle observations, "Dogs Always Know" conveys a message about overcoming emotional barriers and embracing the unexpected paths to human connection, often guided by the unspoken cues of canine companions.
