    About this ebook

    "Home is Behind," embarks on an emotional journey alongside a faithful family dog as he navigates a world forever altered by an unseen force. When a pervasive pandemic shrouds the globe, Max's once vibrant household succumbs to an unknown illness, leaving the loyal canine companion to grapple with solitude and the eerie silence of an abandoned home.

    Max encounters challenges that test his resilience and adaptability. Trapped within the confines of his home due to a military lockdown, Max explores the remnants of a society once teeming with life. With every paw step, readers witness the unfolding of a world in which humanity has left an indelible mark, even in its absence.

    The story delves into themes of companionship, survival, and the enduring spirit of loyalty. This novella invites readers to see the world through Max's keen senses, as he finds purpose and unexpected joys amidst the echoes of a life that once thrived. The story unfolds in a gripping exploration of an altered reality, with Max's resilience serving as a poignant reminder of the profound connection between humans and their loyal animal companions.
