MANDY APPROVES

This love story isn't just about two people - it's about seven plus one.

For Cindy, falling for Dennis was the easy part. The hard part was getting past his family. Because Dennis wasn't just close to his mother, he's close to six mothers! The Mothers: a formidable and fiercely loving council of women whose unanimous blessing is the only key to a future with their cherished son.

A disastrous first meeting ends with Cindy's intuitive Border Collie, Mandy, issuing a low, protective growl, prompting Cindy to make a heartbroken strategic retreat. She cannot ask Dennis to choose between her and his mothers.

But The Mothers aren't having it.

On one pivotal day, they arrive at her door, one by one. From April's grave apology to May's chaotic affection, from June's cool scrutiny to July's fiery advocacy, and from August's trial by suspicion to September's serene benediction-each woman is a trial, and Cindy's four-legged guardian, Mandy, holds the deciding vote. Her reactions-a warning snarl, an ecstatic lick, a thoughtful gaze-become the barometer of true character, guiding Cindy through this intense, emotional gauntlet.

This is a story of seven formidable women, one bewildered man, and the clever dog at the centre of it all. It's a whirlwind test of love, family, and finding your place, all unfolding in a single, life-altering day.

Because sometimes, the most important approval comes with a wagging tail.
