Stay: A Dog's View of Love, Grief and Ordinary Days

Buster has spent his whole life beside humans. Watching them love, grieve, leave, return, break apart, and try again. From the floor beside the bed, under the dinner table, at the front gate waiting for someone who isn't coming home yet, he notices the things humans often miss about themselves, the quiet rituals of ordinary life, the ache of absence, the strange ways love lingers long after everything has changed.
Told through the eyes of an ageing dog, Stay is a gentle, deeply reflective exploration of grief, attachment, memory, and what it means to remain beside someone through the hardest parts of being human. Tender, observant, and quietly devastating, this is a book about loss, companionship, and the small acts of staying that shape a life. Perfect for readers drawn to thoughtful literary fiction, emotionally resonant storytelling, and books that offer comfort without pretending to fix what hurts.
