In Manhattan, Jen and Bob stop at an animal shelter where they meet Miles a street smart half-Chihuahua, half-dachshund, who cannot understand how a charming intelligent pooch like him is stuck in a ragged cage that houses the masses. The human couple like the unkempt Miles so seeing a hand or four to feed him he adopts them as his pets.

Jen and Bob live in different parts of town as both fears the next step in their relationship due to each already having a divorce on their personal r sum from previous partners. When Jen believes that Bob is making it with actress Valerie, who Miles introduced him to when they were walking together, the couple breaks up as he cannot deal with her jealousy. They agree to share custody of Miles as they see others while their canine plots to bring his two owners back together as joint custody several miles apart is hard on his paws.

From a dog's perspective, this is a lighthearted Manhattan romance starring two veterans of the divorce wars and the matchmaking canine who cannot comprehend their behavior. Readers will agree that WC Fields is proven right as you do not perform with pets as they steal the show, which Miles does. Though Mile's woofing can become an overbite, fans of romance, DOGGY STYLE, will enjoy the amusing gender battle with a likable canine peacekeeper.
