Not gonna lie I could probably keep reading about Ivan forever. So, I'm kinda sad this is only one volume. The story is about Ivan, a stray, who wonders around a town and looks for his place in the world. Sometimes, he has bad dreams about rabbits, which causes him to question his purpose. He talks to his friends, tries to find food and runs with a pack of wild dogs for a little bit. It's a charming story with simple black and white panels and a really cute dog. What's not to like?

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.

Creo que no es un mal libro, pero me parece que la historia le falta mucho que contar, los dibujos estan bien bonitos, pero a veces no es solo suficiente tener dibujos bonitos para hacer un libro memorable.

Great story of a stray dog that joins a pack of strays. Quick read and well illustrated.

I don't like books with talking animals with the one exception of Charlotte's Web.

what it means to be a dog living in the streets... maybe we do give them human characteristics...

Perfect little comic that packs quite an emotional punch, especially if you love dogs, or sometimes pretend your dog talks, thinks and feels like a human does.
