A story of family, friendship, belonging and what it means to be human, told from the unlikely point of view of a dog.

King, a scarred, mixed-breed dog with five different names under his collar, would never claim to be man’s best friend.

His humans haven’t all been friendly, and so far life’s been dominated by hunger, hurt and homelessness. King’s created laws for survival, like the essential Law #1: See Food, Eat Food. And when he’s saved from a desperate situation by Rose, a fellow hound with teardrop ears and a bark like gravy, he sticks by her side and decides to give up on humans altogether.

But a dog’s life is not his own, and when he and Rose are violently separated, King vows to find her, even if it means leaving the kind, patient human who’s just entered his life.

Join King in this heartwarming, thought-provoking novel on humanity, and experience the happy ending that all canines and humans alike deserve.
