Description
A moving story of love, friendship, grief, healing, and the magical bond between a woman and her dog. When a woman unexpectedly loses her lifelong best friend and mentor, she is left with the unwanted dog he has left behind. The dog's mute suffering intensifies her own battle against grief, and the threat of eviction adds to her isolation.
As she struggles to come to terms with her loss, she becomes increasingly obsessed with the dog's care, determined to read its mind and fathom its heart. But while troubles abound, rich and surprising rewards lie in store for both of them.
