Patti Lawson is the author of “The Dog Diet,” a witty memoir about gaining a dog and losing 30 pounds. Plagued with doubts about her career and heartbroken by the end of a long love affair, Patti turned to two men she always counted on. Ben & Jerry. She ate. Oh yea, she ate. She also got a part cocker spaniel, part German shepherd puppy named Sadie. Her vet said not to give Sadie any junk food, but just like Patti, that’s all that Sadie craved. Every time Patti whipped out a Big Mac or some java chip ice cream her puppy would jump up on her and try to nose her way through. The only solution: Patti had to change her own diet to be more nutritious.
This book includes recipes, meal plans and how playing with Sadie or doing “Dogercise” helped Patti regain her self confidence and herself. I think the main message of this book can be summed up in a quote by the author herself in an interview with azstarnet.com. "I went out and adopted a dog, but she rescued me," Lawson said. "All of a sudden, I wasn't the center of my world."
