La protagonista y narradora de esta novela es una escritora neoyorquina que pierde de forma inesperada a su gran amigo y mentor, y de forma no menos inesperada se ve obligada a hacerse cargo de su perro –un enorme y artrítico gran danés–, que se ha quedado solo y traumatizado por la súbita desaparición de su amo. La protagonista no tendrá otro remedio que llevárselo a su minúsculo apartamento, arriesgándose a que la echen porque en el edificio está prohibido tener animales.

La narradora de esta historia es alguien que sabe escuchar, porque entiende que todo el mundo necesita ser escuchado, y esa virtud será fundamental en la situación que va a tener que afrontar. Y es que en el centro de esta novela hay dos amigas. Y una enfermedad. La narradora visita en el hospital a una amiga que padece un cáncer terminal y decide instalarse con ella en su casa para acompañarla en sus últimos días. Las dos conversan, ven películas, leen, recuerdan la infancia, ríen y hablan de sus complicadas y no siempre satisfactorias relaciones personales. 

When a woman unexpectedly loses her lifelong best friend and mentor, she finds herself burdened with the unwanted dog he has left behind. Her own battle against grief is intensified by the mute suffering of the dog, a huge Great Dane and by the threat of eviction: dogs are prohibited in her apartment building.

"Elegía más comedia es la única manera de expresar cómo vivimos hoy. Y que algo no sea divertido en la vida real no significa que no pueda escribirse sobre ello como si lo fuese", dice un personaje de esta novela. Su narradora es una mujer solitaria que acepta hacerse cargo de un vivaracho loro llamado Eureka a petición de la amiga de una amiga.
