Journalist Nick Duerden discovers that having a puppy, Missy the border terrier, profoundly impacts his social interactions and daily life during recovery from post-viral fatigue.
Missy acts as a catalyst for conversation, drawing Duerden into a lively social circle of dog owners, each with their own unique stories and backgrounds.
The memoir presents a series of enchanting observations about the intersection of human lives through their dogs, shaped by Duerden's ambivalence towards canines.
The narrative structure mirrors a dog's perspective, with a fluid timeline and an emphasis on the warmth and complexities of community and companionship.
