Louis McDonald, Jr. is 63 and at loose ends in his Biloxi home. Retired and lonely since his wife Ellen left him, he impulsively brings home a stray dog, names her Layla, and, little by little, feels a change in himself and the world. Not at all a sentimental dog story thanks to Louis' flawed personality and Miller's plain-spoken style, this was a realistic, funny, small story about incremental change. I recommend it.
