Paging Dr. Solomon is a charming, character‑driven adventure where a determined Miniature Dachshund pursues his dream of becoming a doctor, supported (and occasionally hindered) by a rule‑bound Collie, another Doxie sidekick (who takes on the role of Nurse Ollie), and a loving human family. The story takes the reader through a series of humorous, often slapstick, and always heartwarming adventures.
This novel turns a household of pets into a cast of fully realized characters, each with their own distinct personality, flaws, and comedic timing. At its core, it’s a tale about determination, family support systems, and identity. The pacing is brisk, the dialogue sparkles, and the comedic narratives are vivid and cinematic. The author draws upon her own life experiences and family of pets to create this highly imaginative and entertaining novel. Although it would be engaging for readers of all ages who enjoy heartfelt animal stories filled with humor, charm, and a touch of absurdity, I can easily picture this novel broken down into a series of children’s books. With the right illustrator, Dr. Solomon and his family (both canine and human) could become a sensation.
Sublime line: “An entertaining blend of whimsy, humor, and genuine emotions, this novel is a celebration of quirky pets and big dreams.”
