Humans have lived in close proximity to animals since the dawn of time. Some of it has managed to live to this very day. Even though many of us can’t even imagine what it’s like to live away from the hustle and bustle of city life that we’re all used to, there are still a large number of individuals who calmly spend their lives off the web, far out in the open wilderness.

The hero of this novel is Sepo, a 65-year-old guy who lives alone in a small home in the Finnish forest with his dog. The fact that Sepo lived alone did not make him feel lonely since he made many excellent friends among the creatures that lived in the area of his front door. But, above all, there’s the otter, with whom he has the strongest of all relationships. There isn’t a day that goes by that Sepo doesn’t pay a visit to his canine companion. Every morning, the elderly gentleman looks forward to his visit!

It all began a couple of winters ago with a misunderstanding. Sepo was taken aback when he saw a little animal on his doorstep, asking for food one day. This time of year, it was quite cold outdoors, and the lake had almost entirely frozen over, making it almost hard for the young otter to locate anything to hunt.

Sepo was a generous guy who offered his unusual visitor to a meal of fish, which he, by the way, happily accepted. This was the beginning of a fantastic relationship between them. The one who got well-known on the Internet when someone took the initiative to spread the word about these two traveling buddies.

Now that the friendly otter has made herself at home in Sepo’s house, the more mature guy is delighted to have her as a house guest. Now that winter is approaching, Sepo is making preparations to ensure that his storage is well-stocked in case his otter buddy chooses to bring any of his furry buddies along with him.
