Deck the Hounds

The combination feels so natural and heartwarming. I'm curious whether the holiday setting was planned from the start or grew organically during writing.

The dogs have such distinct personalities, and I found myself rooting for them. Am I the only one who felt a special bond with the furry characters?

The sense of place really added to the cozy atmosphere. I wonder if the author based it on a real town or created it from imagination.
