"Love, don't worry, jump! I'll catch you." Nina, standing on the edge of a boulder, doesn't worry she jumps ... and crashes to the ground while her husband, arms outstretched, catches the dog. That settled it. Every time Nina hears her husband call, Love, she ignores him. Finally she grasps the situation. Judy, their dog, has become the love of her husband's life and she has to live with that. But, as the scrapes and bruises testify, can she also survive? Feeling uncomfortably estranged, Nina sets out to save their marriage and win back her husband's love. She plans a strategy. After all they live in Rome, and when in Rome do as the Romans do: fight the enemy at the flanks. And she fights. But when the battle is waged against a fragile Maltese terrier, the odds favour the dog. Accompanied by the engaging illustrations of Roberto Valdimare, the memoir is a funny, moving, ironic and sometimes irreverent tale of the impact that a dog can have on a marriage.
