Life's a funny proposition, Horatio by Barbara Garland Polikoff

Life's a funny proposition, Horatio by Barbara Garland Polikoff. Puffin, 1992.

It's been two years since Horatio's father's death. As a way of coping with everything Horatio and his mother move to the country and, after his heart attack, Horatio's grandfather, O.P., moves in with them, bringing his dog Mollie. Horatio's family still miss his dad, although it isn't talked about openly. When Mollie goes missing and Horatio finds her dead, it brings back a lot of memories for them all. O.P. looks like he's missing something important, without Mollie there. Even though Horatio knows he needs time to grieve, he tries to get O.P. interested in a new dog. The book ends with the new dog settling in, and the family talking on the second anniversary of his father's death.
