My dog’s my best friend, so obviously I had to check this out when it popped up in my home feed.
I commented on every page/observation and reflected whether I can relate to with my Amy, and there were quite a few insights among them. A lot of these are very stereotypical and I don’t agree with all, but overall very fun. Would make a good gift for any dog parents.
As for the art style, the dogs are really cute, whereas the humans have a very heavy newspaper-caricature style. But it’s not that big of a deal. Still amazing how there are 119 drawings. Quite diverse, too.
Also, the adoption story of a rescue dog in-between (like a show break) was really sweet.
