When you lose a dog, where does all that love go? The routine, the way they filled the quiet spaces in your day—what happens to all of it? They may be gone, but those feelings remain, lingering like a shadow searching for a place to settle. You still expect to hear the soft thud of their paws on the floor or feel their warm breath beside you, but it never comes. All that love you poured into them now has nowhere to go, leaving you with an ache, heavy and still, waiting for something that won't return. It's a peculiar kind of grief, losing a dog. You lose more than just a pet—you lose a part of your everyday life, a constant companion, and suddenly realize how something so simple could leave such an enormous hole behind. Those feelings don’t just vanish; they hover, untethered, seeking a place to rest but never quite finding it.

Dog People is a collection of stories, prose, and poems that invites you to live with a greater sense of gratitude and tenderness. Each piece captures the essence of a dog's love—their unwavering loyalty, patience, and the way they give without asking for anything but our presence. These stories pull you back to the core of your own heart, reminding you of the love we sometimes forget to show. Dogs love without hesitation, without fear of rejection, and this book gently encourages you to do the same with the people you hold dear. As you turn the pages, you’ll feel a quiet nudge toward living more fully—open-hearted, present, and forgiving—just as dogs have taught us. In a world that often feels disconnected, **Dog People** will guide you back to the pure, unspoken beauty of unconditional love.
