Three months after losing Rooney, a family dog of six years, a father finds himself caught between the slow, private work of grief and his wife's readiness to welcome a new puppy — a readiness shaped not by indifference, but by a mother's wish to give their two-year-old son the formative companionship of growing up alongside a dog. The tension here is ancient and familiar: two people who loved the same creature now standing at different points on the same road, neither wrong, neither quite ready to say so.
