The Fast Track to Love

by Sue Alcon O'Connor from the August 4, 2025 issue

Tagline: When Jenna attends a local dog race with her pup, she's charmed by the town's festivities and its handsome dog-loving sheriff.

Observations: There is so much witty dialogue in this story. It kept me smiling throughout the story.

"Pickle, we're in the land of your people now." -- LMAO.

"This is Beans. He's supposed to be in race six, not conducting a surprise meet and greet."

"...this is Pickle. He's retired from everything but naps and treats."

"I moved here for a new job, peace, quiet--and apparently weenie dog stampedes."

"Welcome to Patton...where the dogs run faster than the Wi-Fi."

"Want to take these two lawbreakers out for a celebratory pup cup?"

I also think the premise--a dachshund race is fabulous.
