Overview

You think you're ready for a dog. Then the dog arrives - and nothing is what you expected. When two overthinking twenty-somethings brought home their first puppy, they imagined peaceful forest walks, gentle training sessions, and a calm, well-balanced family dog. What they got instead was Franz - a sensitive, emotional, high-energy boxer who turned their life upside down in the most chaotic and meaningful ways. From sleepless nights and reactivity to unexpected health issues, training disasters, embarrassing public moments, and the slow, beautiful process of building trust, this book tells the honest truth about dog ownership - the side no one posts on social media. With humor, vulnerability, and German-level honesty, Ole Heinrichs shares what it's really like to raise a dog who doesn't fit the ""perfect puppy"" storyline. It's a story about the dogs who challenge us, the lessons we never expected to learn, and the quiet victories that make every hard day worth it. This book is for anyone who has ever loved a dog so deeply that it changed them. For every first-time dog owner who feels overwhelmed, unseen, or alone. For everyone raising a dog who is not ""easy"" - just real. If you've ever looked at your dog and thought, ""I love you... but wow, this is harder than I imagined,"" this book will make you feel understood. Heartfelt, relatable, and deeply human, The Puppy We Thought We Wanted reminds us that the dog we get is often the dog we need - and that the messy, imperfect journey can become the most meaningful story of all.
