Too much about the pup

I love doggies! And I sail and cruise and own sailboats. And I have friends that have long-distanced cruised with their dogs, on a Formosa 51...So I thought this would be a great book. But this was too much about the dog.
The details of vet visits and the interactions of the dog with this person or that situation, surprisingly felt like an interupption rather than a welcome addition to the story, for me. I only got through chapter 3 before I gave up.
The narrator, however, is fantastic. She had different voices and accents in dialogue and a pleasant intonation and inflection and pace. i will look for more books narrated by her.
