Meet Burke: a young dog (part German Shepherd, part Border Collie, wolf at heart) who just wants to find his forever home, especially after he fails to meet the rigorous standards of a training programme for service animals.

Enter Jake: a grieving philosophy professor. Persuaded to foster Burke temporarily by his dog-trainer sister, Jake finally has a reason to get out of bed in the morning. 

Slowly - one dog walk at a time - the broken pieces of Jake's heart begin to mend. But Burke starts to realise what Jake does not: what he really needs is a bigger pack. And where better to find Jake a new human in his life than at the local dog park . . .

From Sunday Times bestselling author TJ Klune, The Stars Look Like Home is a love letter to our four-legged friends about the healing power of found family and finding happiness in the unlikeliest of places.
