...Beautifully moving. I especially liked the panels that reflected Laika's thoughts, a dog looking for love who knew when the humans around him were happy or sad, without knowing why.
...This book can be enjoyed by history buffs as much as it can be enjoyed by dog lovers, and in truth the appeal is broad enough to capture general readers as well - an excellent job all around.
This is my first graphic novel and I must say, I enjoyed just about everything about it...This isn't something I would have normally picked up but i'm glad i did.
