Spill Simmer Falter Wither by Sara Baume

As a result of attacking a badger, the dog has a gaudy scar on its face, where the left eye used to be. A loner, he confines himself to an unkempt house that belonged to his dead father. He is both dysfunctional and socially anxious, visiting the town once a week to buy some groceries. The man is surprisingly described as too old to start over and too young to give up. He adopts a traumatized dog named One Eye from a local animal shelter.
