Waiting for Doggo by Mark B. Mills

I just loved this story. So readable, so easy, it's like a mixture of Nick Hornby and David Nicholls. Dan's girlfriend, Clara, has left him - not only that, she has left her dog for him to look after. After firstly wanting to hand him back to Battersea Dog's Home where he came from, Dan has a change of heart and decides to keep him. Luckily, when he gets a new job in an ad agency, the boss Ralph agrees that Doggo can come to work with him. So begins a great story of how man's best friend can bring people together, help create brilliant advertising ideas, and also show that they truly have feelings too. I just loved all aspects of the book surrounding Dan's life, both in and out of work. He seems like a really 'nice' guy, always doing the right thing, but not in a cheesy way. And Doggo is always at his side - an inseparable pair.

If you want a simple rom-com style book with a great story line, then look no further.
