E. Rawlins’ new book “Learning to Live with Fritz: Disgruntled Angel in a Hairy Disguise” (published by iUniverse) carries readers along on a spiritual journey. It is comical, self-critical and poignant; an “Eat, Pray, Love” for dog lovers and opera fans.
A beautiful diva exchanges her successful career in opera for the role of corporate wife. Just as her dreams begin to crumble and divorce is imminent, she meets a crazy little dog in a Manhattan pet store. The unmatched pair, a 12-week-old despot puppy and his narcissistic mistress, travel to Europe to save what is left of the discouraged soprano’s career.
The dog turns out to be the diva’s greatest teacher, or at the very least a bad tempered angel in a hairy disguise. His fervent refusal to love and obey her, his obstinacy, bad temper and constant watchfulness teach her everything there is to know about unconditional love.
Rawlins knows that her book will “…appeal to dog lovers who like clever ‘bad dog’ stories, and to those who know that their pets are intelligent, spiritual beings accompanying them for more than mere entertainment and companionship purposes. It will appeal to those people who realize that their pets communicate in quite another language that is all their own.”

Her favorite occupation is what she fondly calls “divo tending.” For 15 years the musical couple shared their chaotic traveling and singing careers with Frizbee, a grumpy, short-tempered Maltese terrier.
Rawlins is also the author of the 2003 book “Rather Light Candles than Rage Against the Darkness.”
