Benji is a black Labrador, and interestingly, also a narrator of this book, which features a dog’s-eye view of the complications that can arise in seemingly perfect human lives.

Meriel, the main (human) protagonist, and the story’s second-provided POV, believes herself to be happily married. Until the day she is not. As her world crumbles around her, she must face her new reality, caring for her two teenage children, and reaching out to her closest friends for support, – including of course, her beautiful and much-loved lab Benji.

Clearly human troubles are puzzling, when one is a dog, and Benji, in response , does his (dare I say, doggedly) best to show his human friends the love that is in his heart for them, and his deepest desire for his family to be whole and happily spending time together again (with perhaps more than only an occasional walk on the beach?).

As the inevitable complications arise, it may or may not be possible for Meriel and her estranged husband Phil to find a way to put their troubles behind them.

Life could be so much simpler, it seems, if along with our furry friends, like Benji, we could all simply relax and revel in a every moment as one of “calm, and a feeling that there was love all around us”.
