review 1: A black and white graphic novel about Ivan, a stray dog who is looking a purpose while troubled with nightmares. Over the course of the short tale, he wanders around encountering folks as a stray, hangs out with an owned dog (who has a bad "boss" of an owner), and falls in with a pack of dogs led by Sasha, a malamute with visions of grandeur.Despite the subject matter, this isn't a children's book (for reasons of language, if nothing else). It's more a reflection on finding a home and an identity when you have no guidance. It's slight, but it has a satisfying ending, and I ended up thinking more about it than I expected.
review 2: This is a graphic novel about a stray dog's seeking to belong. The animals are anthropomorposized--the animals communicate like ... morehumans.The stray dog seeks companionship, but his first attempts to find it with humans fail, and winds up joining a pack of wild dogs. The stray dog finds though he doesn't like the mode of existence with wild dogs.An interesting choice by the graphic artist is that the pictures are in black and white. less
