Stephen Wallace asked Emily Spurr:

When in your story development did you think to add the element of the dog to A Million Things? Amazing book!

Emily Spurr Hi Stephen,
Thank you! :-)
Splinter was in the book right from the start (though he wasn't always called Splinter).
With Rae losing so much, I had to give her an unconditional, loving someone. In my mind, he was always there by her side, a constant warm body, just waiting for her hand on his head.
Thanks for the great question.
Cheers,
Emily
