Nagi’s story describes his journey from pound imprisonment
to life with an extremely dysfunctional, yet animal-loving, couple.
Forced to become a mental health co-therapist, Nagi seeks solace
in his relationships with two neighbor dogs, Tina Weiner and Sugar
Bear, and an overly chatty beetle of questionable lineage, Rex. He
becomes Nagi’s mentor, quick to offer up unsolicited advice, along
with far-fetched life experiences, so far-fetched, in fact, that the
reader will question whether Rex is a compulsive liar or a sage from
ancient times.
Somehow, Nagi learns to make the best of his new life, living
with two delusional parents whose love turns sour and a cast of
characters who will leave you wondering who is crazier than who
and which one needs to spend the most time “on the couch.” The
reader soon discovers that the “couch” is where truths and innermost
thoughts are revealed.
