Please don't feed the mayor / by Sue Pethick.

Pethick, Sue, (author.).

Summary:

Shep wins by a landslide. A lover of democracy and dog treats, Shep is rapidly earning the goodwill of Fossett's citizens. Tourists are streaming in and everyone wants to glad-paw the new mayor. Suddenly Melanie and Shep are media darlings, with requests for interviews, game shows, and personal appearances through the roof. But there's trouble in paradise. Determined to win back his former wife, Bryce MacDonald discovers a rival in tabloid reporter Chad Cameron, who's in Fossett to dig up dirt on Melanie and Shep. He finds a willing co-conspirator in the malcontent who lost the election. Hounded by the press and desperate to head off a potential dog-napping, Melanie unwittingly puts herself in danger. Shep comes to the rescue, proving his mettle to save his faithful human at the risk of his own life . . . and new political career."-- Provided by publisher.

Please Don't Feed the Mayor

Booklist
From Booklist, Copyright (c) American Library Association. Used with permission.

Fossett, Oregon, is a small town that has seen better days jobs are scarce, and businesses are shuttering at an alarming rate. Melanie McDonald, who owns a coffee shop downtown, makes a proposition: electing her friendly border collie, Shep, as mayor of the town to bring attention and business back to Fossett. Melanie enlists her attorney ex-husband, Bryce, as Shep's campaign manager, a role he takes on enthusiastically, hoping Melanie will give him a second chance. As Melanie and Bryce convince the locals that Shep is the best dog for the job, a violent convict that Bryce helped put in prison escapes, hell-bent on revenge. Quirky characters abound in this gentle romantic comedy with a hint of suspense. But it's the comic scenes featuring Shep that steal the show; whether he is faking an injury to make Bryce carry him through the woods or using his herding instinct to round up escaped fainting goats, he is always a good boy. Readers who delight in tales about the bond between people and their dogs will enjoy spending time in Fossett.--Nanette Donohue Copyright 2010 Booklist
