Nugget

By Alex J Stokas

Nugget is a touching and beautifully told story of love, loyalty, and the quiet courage found in a dog's heart.

Born a tiny Jack Russell in South Carolina, Nugget's life changes forever when he is carried across the country to a new home on the shores of Puget Sound. There, among pebble beaches, towering steps, and the wild rhythm of the sea, Nugget discovers a world filled with adventure-and friendship.

Guided by Dan, an older and wiser dog, Nugget learns how to explore, protect, and grow confident in his new surroundings. From daring leaps down steep beach steps to watching eagles soar overhead, Nugget's days are full of curiosity, bravery, and joy. But life, as it always does, brings change. When Dan is gone, Nugget must find his own way forward-and learns that new friendships can bloom even in moments of loss.

As the years pass, Nugget grows older, slower, and wiser, watched over by Dizzy, a spirited companion who stands guard as Nugget once did. Through gentle reflections and quiet moments, Nugget discovers that love never truly fades-and that the bonds we form stay with us long after our steps grow tired.

Tender, reflective, and filled with heart, Nugget is a celebration of friendship, memory, and the lifelong impact of being deeply loved. Perfect for dog lovers of all ages, this story honors the beautiful journey of a life well lived.
