Sixty Seconds with My Dog by Jim Foster, recipient of the esteemed Literary Titan Gold Book Award, is a heartfelt middle-grade novel that asks an irresistible question: What would you say if you had just one minute to talk with your dog?

The story follows twelve-year-old Phoebe Watson, who is grieving the loss of her father while struggling with the challenges of adolescence. On her birthday, Phoebe's wish comes true. She can speak with her beloved goldendoodle, Dudley, but only for sixty seconds. Faced with the ultimate choice of how to spend this magical moment, Phoebe wrestles with whether to chase fame, seek comfort, or connect with her best friend in the way that matters most.

Ultimately, when Dudley's life is nearly put in jeopardy, Phoebe discovers the true meaning of family, friendship, and love. Both poignant and laugh-out-loud funny, this modern coming-of-age tale resonates with readers of all ages who have ever loved a pet or wished for just one more moment with someone they've lost.

The novel has received glowing acclaim from critics. Literary Titan praised the book as "funny, touching, and unexpectedly deep," noting Foster's ability to capture real emotion through Phoebe's raw, witty voice. They hailed Dudley as "a total chaos machine in the best possible way, but also the emotional glue that holds Phoebe together."

Foster himself drew inspiration from his own family dog, Phoebe, during the COVID-19 pandemic. In a recent interview, he reflected: "I would often look into the big brown benevolent eyes of our dog and think to myself how great it would be if we could talk to each other. From there, it evolved into thinking that it'd be an interesting book idea if you constrained the time period to just one minute."

With themes of love, loss, and the difference between wants and needs, Sixty Seconds with My Dog is a touching reminder of what truly matters and how, even in the hardest of times, family and friendship are the anchors that see us through.

Don't miss this heartfelt, award-winning story of love, loss, and the magical bond between a girl and her dog. Sixty Seconds with My Dog is available now in both Kindle [https://amzn.to/47o54Yn] and paperback editions on Amazon [https://amzn.to/3UV9df2]. Pick up your copy today and discover why readers of all ages are calling it funny, touching, and unforgettable.
