I’ll Wait for You Here

Shiba Inu, Akita, and the Love That Knows How to Wait. A True Story for Anyone Who Has Lost a Dog

Author: Carlo Gaspare

A man, a rule, and a dog who made a profession of waiting. I’ll Wait for You Here is much more than a book for dog lovers: it is a novel about waiting, about the losses that change us, and about learning to begin again, told with the calm irony of someone who has known dogs all his life.

In these pages you will discover:

• 🐾 Four dogs, from a childhood in the countryside to a faraway city, each with his own character and quirks.

• 👨‍👦 A real family: a father, a son, and a marriage that wears away slowly, with its distances and its silences.

• 🌧️ The courage to face the death of someone who kept you company every day, and to get back on your feet without pretending nothing happened.

• 😂 Scenes where you laugh out loud and pages where you cry a little, because with a dog you laugh even on the worst days.

Each chapter is designed to make you smile, move you, and make you think: whether you have a dog, have lost one, or are still waiting for someone, you will find something in this novel that speaks straight to your heart.
