Something doesn’t smell right! None of the dogs know what happens behind that door at the end of the hallway. All they know is there’s a punishment for sniffing around it. What secrets are hidden in the Master's Forbidden Room?
“Stray Dogs is one of the best ideas I’ve ever heard, made all the better by flawless execution and a mastery of tone. My new favorite book.”

Sophie and the other dogs are encountering more memory loss for some strange reason. But the plot is thickening.

Чудово, вони попали до вбивці

Dogs, apparently, have bad short-term memory, but they do have excellent sensory memory. Sophie, the Pomeranian protagonist of the graphic novel series “Stray Dogs”, has flashes of the terrible night her lady was killed when she smells the scarf that her lady wore.
Sophie, along with several other dogs, now live with the Master in a huge farmhouse. None of them really know how they got there, but the Master is nice to them.
In issue #2, Sophie and Rusty go snooping around the house. They find more evidence that suggests that the Master may be a serial killer. He has a room full of “trophies” (which is where Sophie found her lady’s scarf) and boxes of photographs of women. When Sophie shows one of the photos to Roxanne, Roxanne flashes to a memory of her lady.
This series, written by Todd Fleecs and drawn by Trish Forstner, is a very weird blend of “All Dogs Go To Heaven” meets “Silence of the Lambs”. By all rights, it probably shouldn’t work, but it does, wonderfully.

The plot thickens with that cliffhanger! Can't wait for issue #3.

Stray Dogs may look like a Disney-esque comic, but it's one of the tensest books on the stands today. Sophie and Rusty go looking for answers in the Forbidden Room just as the Master comes back home. I was reading these pages with clenched teeth as I was so concerned for their safety. If this guy is really a murderer, there's no telling what he could do to these dogs. Writer Tony Fleecs has paced this incredibly well.

Ew, something sinister is going to happen...

Nooooo. No es posible.
Si ya de por si Sophie le contagió su tensión y miedo a Rusty, imagínense como se puso la cosa cuando la perrita mostró su descubrimiento al resto de los perros que viven en la casa.
En específico, me centrare en la reacción que tuvo la pobre de Roxie.
Parece que poco a poco se irán uniendo cada vez más perritos a la búsqueda de sus amos. Solo espero que las cosas terminen bien para ellos y que, al final, ese tipo no empiece con ideas raras en cuanto a todos ellos.
Si ya de por si los pobres perdieron a sus amos, no me quiero imaginar como se pondrá la cosa si este decide actuar contra ellos.
En fin, como pueden ver, el tomo terminó con un pico de tensión bastante intenso, así que, si están leyendo los cómics al mismo tiempo que yo, prepárense por que se ve que el siguiente estará cardiaco.

Rusty is helping Sophie to gather clues of what happened to her master and they entered the forbidden room-Stuff that the man doesn't own only for women and luckily, Sophie got a picture of a young woman then Roxanne (Siberian husky) remembers that is her owner of the said pic. Volume two ends abruptly and I wanted more.

Good read
I love the concept of this book. When I was first reading issue one I didn't know what to expect at all. I went into the book blindly. It was a shock when the book ended. I'm excited to see where this book goes, even though it's only a short run series.

Wow. After the first issue you already know how dark this comic is. But as a dog lover, this comic really has me at the edge of my seat towards the end. Also warning ⚠️ this comic series does involve the dogs getting hurt.

Such an interesting combination of opposites here...
One hand you have like classic Disney animation. I was legitimately shocked how much it looked like the animation of Lady and the Tramp. One the other hand it’s [Law and Order sound] murder

Sophie is convinced there's something in the Master's forbidden room to prove he killed her lady. After letting herself in she'll begin snooping. There's loads of women things in the room. For sure he looks like a murderer.

Stray Dogs is Silence of the Lambs meets Lady and the Tramp; it’s Se7en meets The Secret Lives of Pets.
However you want to slice it and serve it up, this beautiful ode to Don Bluth is arguably one of the most ingenious and co pulling murder mysteries of the decade.
