When Eric's life fell apart, he bought a puppy. And though one scampering, howling, messing little friend couldn't make everything alright, it was a new start when his life had sort of stopped. 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 waterfront house in Miami and the memories that haunt it.

Now, with the puppy by his side, Eric's got a lot of healing to do, but how to start?

"And the Puppy Howls" is the story of being hit by everything modern American life can throw at you, and who, and what, comes next.
