Get to know the writer:

In DOG PARK, the deliberate poisoning of a dog forces three lonely people’s lives to collide.

MARGARET, 65, is a disciplined retiree who wakes before dawn to bake treats for her devoted mutt Rambo, then spends the day coordinating the volunteers who maintain the dog park. CARRIE, 27, is a frazzled nurse at Seattle Children’s Hospital who can’t keep her hyperactive Weimaraner Jean Luc from knocking over strangers or her boyfriends from leaving her. VIET, 30, is an assistant manager at the local hardware store who cares for his infant nephew and toddler niece in an extended family household. The perfect Vietnamese-Catholic son, his only self-indulgence is when he steals away to the bramble-filled, dirt paths of the lower woods for fleeting moments of pleasure with anonymous men.

Through everyday intimacies and betrayals, they find that perhaps it’s through our lack of control—over our dogs and our own desires—that we discover moments of grace.
