Who Will Scratch Behind My Ears
A Gentle Story of Grief, Memory and the Love That Remains
About the Story
Little Dog and Grandma were each a little lonely when they found one another. From that day on, they became cherished companions, filling their days with familiar routines, quiet moments, and the kind of love that makes a house feel like home.
But when Grandma begins to slow down and eventually is no longer there, Little Dog is left with a question he doesn’t know how to answer: Who will scratch behind my ears?
As Little Dog and his family learn to live with Grandma’s absence, he begins to discover that the people we love leave more behind than empty chairs and memories. Their love becomes part of us, carried forward in the things we remember, the things we do, and the love we give to one another.
Who Will Scratch Behind My Ears? is a gentle story of grief, memory, and discovering that even when someone we love is gone, the love they gave us remains.
