Publisher's Synopsis
A personal, perhaps parochial and anecdotal, but nonetheless sociological consideration of the pleasures and pains of having a dog in your life. It is a story that every dog-lover will surely find empathy with. But it is also an attempt to explore some of the common-thread factors: of relationships, attachments, and the inevitable and developmental changes and stages that affect us all on our journey through life through a focus on the life, loss and bereavement of our family pet.
