About This Book
A once promising young consultant falls for a beautiful industrial spy
and loses everything overnight. This novel, a winner of the Segye
Literary Award, begins from a seemingly cliched, movie-like premise, but
surprisingly grips the reader throughout with its realism and astute
observation of human psychology and emotions.
The author, who had long worked as a ghost writer and has finally
published under his own name, crafts a fine story by taking readers into
the aftermath of a storm, as it shows what happens when someone hits
rock bottom. The protagonist is blacklisted from reentering any
respectable white collar job and is forced to take on menial tasks from
washing grills at a barbeque restaurant to finally, as the book's title
suggests, becoming a dog walker.
Unable to let go of his past, he keeps his distance from co-workers, yet
at the same time he applies his polished consulting skills to his work.
Things take a turn for the better when he begins walking a rich woman's
treasured Tibetan Mastiff, for a jaw-dropping amount of money that
enables him to live a comfortable life once again.
