The book is actually in two parts, the longer piece being Stargazing Dog and Sunflowers, the short story which follows, acts as a sort of epilogue. I can't really go into much detail as it would spoil the story but it ties it up nicely making it a perfectly combined pair of stories which examines the relationship between man and dog in the modern world from two different perspectives.
I can't recommend this highly enough to anyone interested in a touching but enjoyable drama along the lines of some of Jiro Taniguchi's work.
