Final issue.
“The most wickedly cool new comic I’ve seen in a long while. Dark and inventive and utterly delightful.” —JASON AARON

Of all the comic books I’ve been reading lately, I’ve honestly been the most eager to read the latest issue of Tony Fleecs/Trish Forstner’s delightful and suspenseful “Stray Dogs”.
Issue #5 is, sadly, the finale to this story about a group of dogs who begin to remember their past humans and that their current human, simply called the Master, is a serial killer. In the last issue, Earl—-the oldest dog—is the only one in the group who hadn’t been convinced, until he discovers something in the Master’s locked room, the room none of the dogs are allowed in. Meanwhile, the other dogs, led by little Sophie, explore the backyard, where they find horrors beyond horrors in the shed.
In this issue, the Master arrives home, surprising Earl. Earl attacks and urges everyone else to run. They escape the house only to find that the front yard faces a busy highway, one that would be suicide to cross. The Master, bleeding and injured but still alive, is closing in. One of the dogs must make the ultimate sacrifice…
I can’t say more. Other than to say that this is a great finale to a great comic book series. I mean who wouldn’t love a series involving lovable dogs and serial killers? You know, other than people who don’t like dogs or serial killers.

THAT! THAT is how you end a mini-series. All the tension and emotions were there. A short, but enthralling ride that kept me interested.
But such a bittersweet ending.

Título: Stray Dogs
Autor: Tony Fleecs
Género: Terror
Rating: 🍒🍒🍒🍒🍒
Warning: Violencia alta y explícita
Ha sido un libro duro de leer básicamente porque involucra perritos y algunos de los perritos no les va bien.
La historia sigue a Sophie una linda perrita que llega a su nuevo hogar y conoce a sus nuevos amigos perrunos, pero algo no anda bien, ella, a pesar del limitado tiempo que tienen los perros para recordar, recuerda que su dueña era otra persona ¿dónde está ella y qué es este lugar donde la han traído?
Sophie recordará la chocante realidad y deberá hacer que sus amigos perros recuerden la suya.
Yo iba medio spoileada con el cómic pero solo en la parte inicial, uno de los “secretos” importantes se descubre casi ni bien empezar la lectura, pero solo diré que algo no anda bien con el nuevo dueño de Sophie.
En cada nuevo cómic, que es narrado desde el punto de vista de los perritos, nos iremos enterando e iremos descubriendo cosas que, aunque no sorpresivas, sí nos hará sentir sentimientos no muy positivos entre horror, pena, indignación y quizás algo que aun hace esta historia más chocante es el nivel de violencia contrastado con lo lindo de los protagonistas sumado a su inocencia.
¿Lo recomiendo?
Es un buen cómic, es innegable, pero no lo recomendaría a personas sensibles, para mí ha resultado difícil, tiene maltrato y violencia gráfica.

Delightful miniseries that doesn't just have a killer concept - i.e. dogs have short term memory, they sortof remember their former owners and duh duh duuuuh that their new owner has been bumping off the old ones (all women) and they sortof have a vague idea that something ain't right - but also has a wonderful monthly pacing that sees this short little tale unfold in well paced chunks with little cliffhangers and twists dealt out on an issue to issue basis. Sure, scratch the surface and it may not all add up but the unique premise more than carries it along for 5 issues and it never outstays its welcome or gets too ridiculous. Also a rare case of it ending just about as nicely as it could have done.

Ok, solo voy a escribir esto y me iré a llorar al rincón. Solo quiero hacer eso, y más por ese final tan intenso y arrebatador que nos entregó Tony.
Las cosas se ponen intensas en la casa del "amo" y más ahora que Earl por fin recuerda su pasado y la verdad detrás de lo que ocurrió con su familia y con el hombre que lo adoptó.
Sí, ha llegado el momento clave para esta manada de perritos que, con el pasar de los días aprendió a confiar entre ellos y a cuidarse unos a otros. Si bien es cierto que las cosas no terminaron bien para algunos de ellos (mi Víctor todavía duele), ha llegado el momento de defenderse y buscar la libertad.
¿Lo conseguirán?
Lean el cómic y prepárense para llorar un rato con ese final. Uno que, siendo sincera y a pesar de su crudeza, es muy realista.

Good ending
"Stray Dogs" caught me off guard at first. The first issue because like a Disney book, but had an M Night twist towards the end. I really enjoyed this series and I'm still so fascinated by the fact that it was written by a writer known for My Little Pony books. I smile every time I think about that. Good series with a solid ending. I would recommend it.

Finished the Series (And Officially Broken Now)
A really well-made horror/thriller comic series - but hoo boy, it's also a great reminder for why a lot of horror fans visit a certain website as soon as a dog or cat appears in a horror movie. Read all the issues in one go - and now my heart is broken in a bunch of pieces. ToT

Justice is served and the guy/murderer is dead all thanks to Earl & Imogene. Some of the dogs are finally free and they have new owners. Sadly, they don't remember the events or each other anymore and no PTSD. The ending is literally ok and not a bad story.

What an ending. I'm so sad for it to be over. I do hope there will be more Stray Dogs in the coming days.

This conclusion was rough (on me) but well earned. I'll definitely be reading the next series when it comes out! I also can't handle how much the fearful little papillon reminds me of my fearful pomeranian (who looks like a papillon because of the way her ear hair grows). I don't recommend this short comic if you want to avoid gore and blood, animal death, and vehicle accidents.
