  The Stars Look Like Home January 14, 2027

  A promise: The dog does not die in this. As a puppy, Burke’s mother told him that dogs' lives are like the stars in the sky: An everlasting light in the darkness. So naturally, Burke believes he’s immortal. When he discovers the truth—that shollies from the suburbs don’t live forever—he sets out to find his place in the world and make the most of life. But try as he might, he’s passed from family home to training program, from the suburbs to the mountains, until, at last, he meets Jake, the man who feels like home.
