Booklist

Ken Foster never intended to adopt an abandoned dog. But after bringing Brando home, he finds it
hard not to notice how many homeless strays there are in the city. Suddenly, he finds them
everywhere, and finds himself unable to resist taking them home. But what he gains from them in
return is far richer than his own expense.

As he forms relationships with each new animal, Foster finds solidarity between their misfortunes and
his own, and unfiltered companionship through some of life's biggest hardships: the shock of New York
City after 9/11, the evacuation of New Orleans during Hurricane Katrina, and the day his heart nearly
stopped for good.
