From a publisher:
A tiny ad in a local newspaper catches Cédric Sapin-Defour's eye: A litter of Bernese Mountain Dog puppies need homes. A lonely, single gym teacher and mountain climber in the French Alps, Cédric visits the dogs and immediately falls for a puppy with a blue collar who steps over his siblings to get to him. Named Ubac, French for the north side of the mountain—the rainy, cloudy slope—the puppy quickly upends Cédric's life.
They go on hikes together, taking to the hills and exploring, forging a bond that brings joy and a sense of fulfillment and adventure. They brave the world together, hate to be apart, crave the mountains and the natural world; they protect each other. And over the course of 13 years, their pack expands to include Mathilde, Cédric's wife, and more dogs.
