Saying all men are dogs is an insult to canines everywhere . . . For animal behaviorist Miranda Sweet， pets beat people -- paws down -- and she s convinced that animals are sweeter， softer and a lot more predictable than the men she s been dating lately.

While schizophrenic schnauzers and confused canaries are benefiting from her professional ministrations， her best friend Daisy is convinced that Miranda needs a little therapy， as well. Enter dishy photographer David. Even Miranda begins to think she may have been just a tad hasty in her analysis of men， and she finds herself reconsidering her position. But just as she lets her guard down， her own past reappears， and Miranda must come to terms with the fact that she hasn t always been as sweet as she d like to believe . . .
