There&#8217;s a whole lot that goes into them, the care and feeding of the dogs specifically. This comic compares and contrasts the dog to their handler, tying a link between each of their ambitions and goals. Is there also a subtle dig at the treatment of these animals and what they get out of the process versus the handler? Eh, maybe, if you look at the last page. Or I&#8217;m putting my own biases into it, which is a constant problem. Liana does a masterful job of blending the dog and the handler into one, sometimes leaving the reader unable to tell where one ends and the other begins. The dog putting its handler through the paces, for example, is an image that&#8217;ll stick with me. This comic is at times adorable, haunting and seemingly inevitable. An odd mix, but it all blends together more seamlessly than you might think. Give it a shot and you might earn yourself a treat! $6<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"709\" height=\"1024\" src=\"https:\/\/opticalsloth.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/11\/IMG_20191111_0004-709x1024.jpg\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-26016\" srcset=\"https:\/\/opticalsloth.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/11\/IMG_20191111_0004-709x1024.jpg 709w, https:\/\/opticalsloth.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/11\/IMG_20191111_0004-208x300.jpg 208w, https:\/\/opticalsloth.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/11\/IMG_20191111_0004-768x1110.jpg 768w, https:\/\/opticalsloth.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/11\/IMG_20191111_0004-173x250.jpg 173w, https:\/\/opticalsloth.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/11\/IMG_20191111_0004-121x175.jpg 121w, https:\/\/opticalsloth.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/11\/IMG_20191111_0004-26x38.jpg 26w, https:\/\/opticalsloth.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/11\/IMG_20191111_0004-149x215.jpg 149w, https:\/\/opticalsloth.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/11\/IMG_20191111_0004.jpg 1177w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 709px) 100vw, 709px\" \/><\/figure>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Website Neverending Race Dog shows!
