Malc Collier's book is, fundamentally, the story (his story) of what a guy goes through when his business and marriage breaks down. It shows that both genders suffer as much as each other . . . It is well researched that the majority of books written about breakups are by women. Habitually it is within the male psyche to keep feelings locked away. This book strips back that male veil and bares the honest truth. But this story also has an interesting sub-plot as it were. His musings over his life experiences and events in this period, made him realise and sincerely appreciate the most special relationship, a remarkable bond with his beautiful black Labrador Retriever, Frank. It's not quite a \"Marley and Me\" (tame and romantic) tale, but it is relative in that it discovers the importance of the connection with this wonderful being and emphasises how dogs can teach us the pure simplicity of life. The bond between man and dog is no more apparent in how Frank becomes his saviour, giving him a reason to carry on. He became Malc's soul mate, his Best friend, his purpose and they developed an unexplainable unison that was just a given.
