Critics Review

“A deeply moving memoir by a gifted artist. It’s one thing to write a memoir when you’re thirty. It’s another thing to write a memoir when you’ve actually experienced serious loss, achieved at least some of your dreams, and when the end of life becomes less of an abstraction. A terrific book.”–Roz Chast

“Somehow, looking into the eyes of an animal that you have shared a life with is even more profound than with a human, because with animals, we don’t have words, we can only use our eyes. It’s all there. The trust, love, fear, wonder and release. Just like this book.”–Jamie Lee Curtis

“A wonderful and moving story brilliantly told.”–Patricia Cornwell

“A moving, heartbreaking look at a 17-year relationship between a man and his dog. This New Yorker cartoonist breathes new life into the dog love story canon.”–Julie Klam, author of You Had Me at Woof

”[A] poignant, generously illustrated graphic memoir, which combines prose and comics in mordantly funny and moving vignettes.”–Publishers Weekly
