The poet, out walking his dog in the park woods, meets a homeless man and they talk: good talk.

The man is named Armando and he lives outdoors, has his regular bench in the woods. He loves dogs and likes the poet's Goldendoodle Maisie more each time they meet. And she adores him.

The poems use warm and friendly language to unfold a special connection. Armando, immigrant from South America, has made a life in homelessness and shares his daily wisdom with the poet, who in turn shares his dog's love. Armando and Maisie is a curious and caring story in crafted poems that open up that life to readers.
