Although Jill finds her routines disrupted and her wistfulness about past loves stirred, she forges a connection with the dog that takes her by surprise in her solitary middle age.Both humorous and heartwarming, Dog is the story of Jill Rosen – a single, childless professor who has given up on finding love – and Phil, the wise, young dog she adopts, almost by accident.
