Coffee Break Collection 029 - Dogs

Twenty voices, twenty stories of the creatures who have shared our beds, guarded our doors, and looked at us with that unmistakable devotion. This anthology gathers fiction, poetry, and memoir fragments, each piece fifteen minutes or less, perfect for your morning commute or the pause between meetings. Here you'll find the legendary loyalty of service dogs, the grief of a house emptied of paws, the absurdity of a terrier who believes he's a lapdog, and the quiet holiness of a dog waiting by the door. Some pieces will make you laugh. Others will catch in your throat. All of them understand something true about the bond between species. Whether you're a lifelong dog person or simply curious what all the fuss is about, these brief encounters with our oldest animal companions offer exactly the kind of warmth and honesty that sticks with you long after the coffee gets cold.
