A 21st Century Adult Fairy Tale, And the Puppy Howls

Eric's life had sort of stopped just then; one by one, he'd lost them all: his health, his lover, his man's-best-friend, the puppy's predecessor, Ziggy - one by one, until he had nothing left but his house in Miami and the memories that haunt it.
Now, with the puppy present, Eric's got a lot of healing to do... and now to start?
"And the Puppy Howls" is the story of being hit by everything modern American life can throw, and who and what comes next.
