More about the book

The narrative revolves around Hillock, a secret government base dedicated to training animals for collaboration with humans. Each animal forms a bond with its trainer, but when trainers leave, the animals often refuse to work with newcomers, leading to a cycle of retirement and replacement. This presents ongoing challenges, as newly introduced animals struggle to adapt, and the age of trainers affects their ability to keep pace with the animals. The story explores themes of loyalty, adaptability, and the complexities of human-animal relationships.
