He doesn't bark. He breathes on whichever face is nearest, until that person gives up.

  • Max
  • The Cheese Drawer

    Not the fridge door. The drawer. Max can be asleep two rooms away, gone entirely, and still he is beside you before it is fully open. Nobody has explained how he knows the difference between a door and a drawer, but he does, every time. The word 'garden' works too, said in any sentence, about anything.

  • Thursday Morning

    Every Thursday, for ten years, the wheelie bin goes out, and every Thursday Max treats it like a stranger. He gives it a wide berth, walks the long way round, and looks back over and over to check that it isn't following him. By Friday it is just the bin again. Then Thursday comes back around.

    Ten years, and it still hasn't caught him.

  • Watching the neighbour's chickens. He has never once moved towards them.

  • Half past seven, and Max is still at the fence, waiting for a crust nobody admits to. The red blanket is still on the rug, pulled off the sofa by morning. Bas and Femke still check the sock basket on washing day and come up one short. Noor still reads to him on the rug, his head heavy on her leg. Otto still denies the whole thing.

Questions

What if I don't know what to answer?

The questions are about ordinary things: where they sleep, what they steal, the sound that makes them run. Short answers are enough, and you can skip any question. The more you tell, the more it sounds like them.

How is the writing made?

The words are drafted from your answers by an AI model working under a fixed brief: nothing invented, no clichés. You read and change every line before anything is printed.

Can I change what it says?

Yes. Every page can be changed. Edit the words, rewrite a page with a note, swap a photo, swap a photo for a drawing, draw an illustration again.

How many photos do I need?

One is enough. Up to fourteen fit, large in the book. Where there are fewer photos, we draw your pet instead.

Can I show the book to someone?

Yes. The book page makes a share link. Anyone with it reads the whole book on their phone and cannot change it. You can stop the link at any time.

Can I make one for someone else's pet?

Yes. You need photos of their pet and the things only someone who knows the animal can tell. Afterwards you pass on the private link, and they can change any page themselves.

Also for a pet that has died?

Yes. Write in the past tense and the book does the same. It stays a book about what they did, not about the end.

What happens to the photos?

They are used to make your book and deleted a year after it is ready. Two mails come before then, and one click keeps the book another year. Nothing else.
