L'amico fedele

New York writer Iris gets more than she bargained for when a departed mentor leaves her one giant, slobbery lesson in companionship. Her new dog Apollo wrecks things, gets eviction threats, then quietly starts fixing the mess inside her head. A four-legged shrink that won’t itemize on her taxes.
