‘This utterly charming graphic memoir charts the life-changing experience of adopting a Romanian dog that looks like a fox – complete with the ensuing emotional roller coaster, expressively captured in drawings of humans and animals.’ – The Lady, Comic of the Week
‘Funny, heartfelt, witty and devastating in equal measure. Hainsworth’s visuals are fragile and yet powerfully observed. One of the most genuinely touching comics you will read this year.’ – Broken Frontier
‘A break from the graphic novel form, in a bijou and heartfelt missive to a dog. This is very much a full work of art, and one with pleasant depth behind its veneer of rough-and-readiness.’ – The Bookbag
‘Ottilie’s style works perfectly, deftly catching the emotions in expressions, the body language of both humans and animal. This is a very warm, honest and touching book, and anyone who loves animals will recognise much here, the moments that make you laugh, the moments that make you mad, the moments where you just want to melt into a warm, fuzzy ball of happiness.’ – Forbidden Planet
‘Suitable for a wide-ranging audience, especially dog owners and dog lovers, all of whom should be able to relate to it, as a light story or on a deeper level about the nature and consequences of bringing a dog into your home and life.’ – Nudge
