    Raising a puppy is simple – feed them, walk them, love them. Right? Wrong.  
    When Sophia brings home Dennis – a scruffy Parson terrier with big eyes and even bigger opinions – she’s armed with Pinterest-perfect visions of puppy bliss. But after a sudden breakup, she finds herself solo-parenting a creature who snacks on foam earplugs and shreds slippers for fun. And yet, amid the chaos, Dennis becomes an unlikely source of comfort through a turbulent year. 
    In this candid and laugh-out-loud memoir, between bad Hinge dates and scraping poo off the carpet, Sophia reflects on the oddities of modern life: the awkwardness of being single in a coupled-up world, the pressure to curate perfection online, the strange parallels between raising dogs and babies, and the realisation that building a life isn’t always linear – but it can still be whole. 
    By the end of their first year together, Dennis has done more than turn Sophia’s world upside down – he’s remade it in his image: wilder, messier and infinitely more alive. Told with warmth, wit and total honesty, this is Sophia’s true story of heartbreak, healing – and one unforgettable pup.For anyone who’s ever loved a dog – or been saved by one – this is a story of quiet resilience, unpredictable joy and the soft weight of a small body curled beside you when it matters most.

    "This book contains the record of a few of the many happy days and novel experiences which I have had in the wilds. For more than twenty years it has been my good fortune to live most of the time with nature, on the mountains of the West. I have made scores of long exploring rambles over the mountains in every season of the year, a nature-lover charmed with the birds and the trees. On my later excursions I have gone alone and without firearms. During three succeeding winters, in which I was a Government Experiment Officer and called the "State Snow Observer," I scaled many of the higher peaks of the Rockies and made many studies on the upper slopes of these mountains."

    Along the highways of Burma there is placed, at regular distances away from the dust of the road, and under the cool shade of a group of trees, a small wooden building called a "rest-house", where the weary traveller may rest a while, and allay his thirst and assuage his hunger and fatigue by partaking of the food and water which the kindly inhabitants place there as a religious duty. Along the great highway of life there are such resting places; away from the heat of passion and the dust of disappointment, under the cool and refreshing shade of lowly Wisdom, are the humble, unimposing "rest-houses" of peace, and the little, almost unnoticed, byways of blessedness, where alone the weary and footsore can find strength and healing.
