Like most cartoon dogs, they can talk to each other but can’t be understood by humans.

And what’s buried in the crawl space under the porch… ?įleecs also cleverly weaves in the real fact of dogs’ poor memory as a plot device to great effect. The owner leaving the house leads to some really exciting and tense moments as the dogs take these opportunities to search the house, namely the room they’re not allowed into, as well as the dreaded punishment shed in the yard. The story is well-paced with the surprises coming at a good rate so it’s never boring. It’s basically Stephen King’s Misery but with dogs held hostage instead of an author! Stray Dogs is an excellent new title from writer Tony Fleecs and artist Trish Forstner. Her former owner was murdered and Sophie was stolen - is her new owner a serial killer? And if so, how can she and her fellow dogs escape and stop him from killing again? She doesn’t remember much about how she got there - until the scent of her former owner from an item of clothing triggers a memory. Sophie is the new dog in a house full of dogs, kept by a single owner. His comics have been published by Random House (Villard), Image Comics, Silent Devil Productions, Boom!, IDW and Terminal Press.
