Description
A tender, witty, and deeply moving novel about Ted Flask, a lonely writer whose beloved dachshund, Lily, is his closest companion. When Ted discovers an “octopus” threatening Lily’s health, he embarks on an imaginative and emotional battle to save her, confronting love, fear, and the limits of control. Blending whimsical fantasy with heartfelt realism, the story explores the extraordinary bond between people and their pets, as well as companionship, loss, and the courage to let go. Steven Rowley’s poignant debut is both an affectionate tribute to dogs and a compassionate meditation on grief.
