A dog has a few things to say about grief.
STAY is told through the eyes of Buster, an ageing, observant, slightly opinionated dog who has spent his life watching humans love each other, lose each other, and somehow keep going.
He doesn’t have answers.
He has presence, loyalty, snacks, strong opinions about cats, and a fairly compelling argument that sometimes the most important thing you can do for someone who is hurting is simply stay.
Tender, funny, and quietly profound, STAY is about grief, love, memory, ageing, and the ordinary rituals that hold us together when life doesn’t go to plan.
For anyone who has loved deeply, lost someone important, or been rescued by a four-legged witness who refused to leave.
Meet Buster. He has opinions.
Maybe this is what dogs already know.
That you don’t always need the right words.
That grief doesn’t need to be solved.
That love can survive absence.
That ordinary days still matter.
And that sometimes the greatest kindness we can offer another person is simply to sit beside them and refuse to leave.
That is STAY.
Come sit. You’re not doing this alone.
