3⭐️ I really enjoyed this story. Just FYI there are a few typo that could just be a bad digital copy, in the authors letter at the end. It‘s kind of a sad story, but with a happy ending. And while the art is not a style I like it has a hopeful feel. It‘s all dark and gloomy at the beginning but brightens up at the happy points. A true story of two dogs becoming friend after bad experiences.
