Good Dog by Graham Chaffee
3.0
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.
