An amazing, beautiful book . . . It shows how one dog's dignified presence can bring connection and love to a fractured world. ―Cat Warren, New York Times bestselling author of What the Dog Knows

One dog changes the life of everyone who takes him in on his odyssey to reunite with his first owner in this inspiring novel about the bond between humans and dogs and the life-affirming power of connection.

For fans of Fox and I by Catherine Raven, Raising Hare by Chloe Dalton, and Etna by Paul Yoon

Dogs had a special relationship to humans. . . . They understood the human heart and were attuned to it in a way no other creature was.

Following a devastating earthquake and tsunami, a young man in Japan finds a stray dog outside a convenience store. The dog's tag says Tamon, a name evocative of the guardian deity of the north. The man decides to keep Tamon, becoming the first in a series of owners on the dog's five-year journey to find his beloved first owner, Hikaru, a boy who has not spoken since the tsunami. An agent of fate, Tamon is a gift to everyone who welcomes him into their life.

At once heartrending and heartwarming, intimate and panoramic, suspenseful and luminous--and deepened in its emotion by the author's mastery of the gritty details and hardscrabble circumstances that define the lives of the various people who take Tamon in on his journey--this bestselling, award-winning novel weaves a feel-good tale of survival, resilience, and love beyond measure.
