Summary
Story 1: When Mehran Mansoori was a kid, he would run home after school each day to be with the homing pigeons that his father kept in the backyard. He would hold them gently in his hands, feeling the softness of their feathers and warmth of their little bodies. When they flew up into the sky, he would spend hours watching them swoop and dive. Until one day, everything changed.
Story 2: On July 29th, 1969, just after midnight, Hiroshi Yagi was transporting rice up on Mount Naeba when he heard a strange howl. According to Yagi, it couldn’t have been anything but a wolf. But nobody believed him. Because wolves in Japan do not exist. They’d all gone extinct over a hundred years earlier. Still, Yagi never doubted what he’d heard that night and he would spend the next fifty years trying to prove that the lost Japanese wolf is still out there. And then one rainy day in October, he comes face to face with a mysterious dog-like creature.
