He wasn’t supposed to bring a dog to college.
But Robbie isn’t just a dog—he’s Sawyer’s heart.

When 17-year-old Sawyer leaves for college, he does the unthinkable: smuggles in his tiny, tan Chihuahua, Robbie. The rules are clear—no pets. But Robbie has a fatal heart condition, and time is running out. Desperate to help the one creature who’s always been there for him, Sawyer sets out on a journey of love, loss, and impossible choices.

Sawyer and Robbie is a deeply emotional coming-of-age novel for fans of The Fault in Our Stars, A Dog’s Purpose, and They Both Die at the End. With powerful themes of found family, resilience, and the kind of bond that rewrites every rule, this story will stay with you long after the final tick.

Perfect for listeners who love:

• Tearjerkers that actually earn your tears

Sawyer And Robbie is a quiet, deeply human coming-of-age novel about love, time, and the impossible task of holding on to what we know we’re going to lose. As Sawyer navigates college, adulthood, and the slow unraveling of childhood, Robbie remains his constant—small, loyal, and running out of time.

This is not just a story about a dog. It’s a story about growing up when you’re not ready. About loving something mortal. About the way loss shapes us long before it happens.

Tender, reflective, and unafraid of stillness, Sawyer And Robbie lingers with listeners who believe the smallest lives can leave the deepest marks.

If you’ve ever loved a dog like family…
If you’ve ever wished you could pause time—just once…

There’s nothing more whole than a broken heart.
