"A lightbeat, epic account of how the 20-something author brought her giant English Mastiff to her first tiny New York apartment after college, while navigating boyfriends, first jobs, her mother's illness and a bucket list that involves her dog's participation, "--NoveList.
"Lauren Fern Watt moved to New York City after graduating from college, and she took her enormous 160-pound mastiff, Gizelle, along for the ride. It wasn't easy, but Lauren managed to find a dog-friendly (i.e., tiny) apartment in the middle of it all--Times Square. Throughout her twenties, Gizelle always was there for Lauren: her first job, her mother's struggle with addiction, and the challenges of becoming an adult in the big city. So when Gizelle got sick and Lauren realized her best friend might not always be around, she designed an epic bucket list to make the absolute most of the time they had left. A heartwarming adventure, Gizelle's Bucket List is about how a dog can teach humans the power of unconditional love and the value of each precious moment."--Jacket.
