New York City writer Iris finds her comfortable, solitary life thrown into disarray after her closest friend and mentor bequeaths her a Great Dane named Apollo. The huge dog immediately creates practical problems for Iris, from furniture destruction to eviction notices, as well as more existential ones. Yet as Iris finds herself unexpectedly bonding with Apollo, she begins to come to terms with her past, and her own creative inner life.
Editor's Verdict
"The plot description provided focuses entirely on the writer's relationship with a bequeathed dog, dealing with practical and existential issues. There is no indication that the setting, plot, themes, or resolution have any meaningful connection to the Christmas season or its traditions."
