"Jack" by Phillip Boleyn
MEET JACK, a dog who's having an existential crisis. And Veronica - Jack's human - who just happens to be a professional dominatrix. After Jack finds he can communicate with Isaac, the elderly man next door, the two unlikely friends visit Madame Lulu, psychic and self-styled Keeper of Secrets, to try to discover what lies behind their strange connection. But when the Keeper of Secrets decides that this one is much too good to keep to herself, their troubles begin. And after an unfortunate Internet video brings a stream of demented visitors to Veronica’s house, Jack and Isaac escape to a secluded lakeside retreat. There they meet Alice, a little girl forced to live with her vile cousin, and Rachel, Alice’s dog… with whom Jack instantly falls in love. And it’s there that Isaac tells Jack the extraordinary story of the mysterious woman he loved long ago. Throw in a supernatural romance, a sleazy politician, a fake cat funeral, and various masochists all craving the services only Veronica can offer, and you have the makings of a hilarious and sweetly romantic tale for the ages.
