Abstract

A hot topic on SNS!
The irreplaceable daily life of "Harry", a black Labrador retriever who grows up rapidly while playing mischievous pranks, and her twin sons who are now middle school students.
Harry, the cool guy, accidentally ate too much and became as fat as Omi beef.
The way you curl up and sleep is exactly like Ehomaki.
The owner, Riko, will continue to struggle until the day he gets his beloved Buddy back!

A collection of essays about the Murai family and Harry that will make you laugh and cry, following on from ``KIMI GA IRUKARA'' A conversation with writer Yumiko Aoyama is also included at the end of the book.

“Through dogs, I understand the irreplaceable beauty of repeating ordinary everyday life. I am taught that what remains the same is actually precious. And when a dog is just there, I learned that it brings happiness. I really hope that time like this will continue forever. Spending time with my dog heals the slight pain I feel every day. By hugging my dog, I feel a sense of relief. I somehow close the hole that seems to open in my heart at a moment's notice.'' (From the text)
