From the day they meet, a puppy knows one thing for certain: this little human is his boy. They grow up side by side through backyard games, stolen table scraps, school days, and their favorite ritual, fishing together on the lake. But as the boy grows older, he begins disappearing for longer and longer stretches, leaving his faithful companion to make sense of a human world filled with strange words like college, work, abroad, and marriage. A tender story about growing up, waiting, and a lifetime of love seen entirely through the eyes of a dog.
