About Lost and Found
On a bright autumn day, Flynn Marlowe lost his best friend, a beagle named Barley, while out on a hike in Seattle’s Discovery Park.
On a cold winter day, Mac Bowersox found his best friend, a lost, scared, and emaciated beagle, on the streets of Seattle.
Two men. One dog. When Flynn and Mac meet by chance in a park the next summer, there’s a problem—who does Barley really belong to? Flynn wants him back, but he can see that Mac rescued him and loves him just as much as he does. Mac wants to keep the dog, and he can imagine how heartbreaking losing him would be—but that's just what Flynn experienced.
A “shared custody” compromise might be just the way to work things out. But will the arrangement be successful? Mac and Flynn are willing to try it—and along the way, they just might fall in love.

REVIEW:
Lost and Found by Rick R. Reed is a sweet tale of love, dogs and long walks in the park.
Flynn and Mac are two lonely strangers who seem to be destined to meet - if their dog has anything to do with it! The match-making Beagle lost his first owner while chasing a squirrel and found his new owner when both of them needed each other most. A year later a chance meeting brings all three together and a future none of them could imagine begins.
Only a furry canine (or two) can help break down barriers and make them see that the love two men have for one dog can extend further (and deeper), if they can be brave.
Both men come from very different backgrounds, but have common ground when it comes to four legged friends. Each love passionately, deeply, but with reservation. Only a furry canine (or two) can help break down barriers and make them see that the love two men have for one dog can extend further (and deeper), if they can be brave.
This beautifully heartwarming story is artfully crafted and I soaked this book up within two days. I love the awkwardness and internal dialogue Reed portrays as the characters are getting to know each other.
If you understand the deep love you can feel for your fellow animals and are ready to be moved by serendipity and fate, then Lost and Found by Rick R. Reed is not to be missed.
