"It’s a story of love, life, and death between a man and his Bernese Mountain Dog, Ubac, who, as he grows, takes up more and more space in the narrator’s daily life. On some pages, Ubac reeks of dog; on others, you forget he even is one, and simply watch these two beings love each other. A mysterious bond that needs no words yet keeps us in suspense. A life both anxious and joyful, intense, where everything moves quickly and must be held on to. And then, the inevitable separation—one we wish wouldn’t come, but that gives the whole story its depth. What remains is that damned absence. The sound of claws we think we still hear on the floor, and that scent—gone forever, despite the rain. You don’t have to be a dog lover to share in these thirteen years of intimacy. This story is universal."--Publisher's website.
