Yukiya Sakuragi

All alone except for her loyal mutt Lupan, 18-year-old Suguri moves from the countryside to the big city to find a job and a new life! When she accepts a job at a pet store, she meets a variety of dogs and owners, each with own quirky personality. What she lacks in experience, she makes up for with her natural rapport with all things wagging and fluffy!

Inubaka: Crazy for Dogs

Gavin

Exactly as advertised, but with the usual sprinkling of manga oddity and one heart stopper.

Ken Yuen

Kind of mediocre. None of the characters stand out very much. Even the dog-crazy girl from the title is a bit generic with her dog sixth sense and anime ditziness. She wears a dog collar, so I guess that's unique?

That said, the story with Ricky and her owner was pretty touching.

The translations are clunky. A lot of the time the lines don't flow naturally or come off as thoughtfully presented in English. Seeing that the translation studio was in Japan pretty much confirms why it feels this way. I'll give them points for keeping the honorifics though.
