The style of the drawing is top notch, warm, full of life, easy to get attach to, and it`s clearly defining for the hand and inspiration of the author, Panaccione.
The story, like the previous book by him that I`ve read, isn`t something big, dense, or too complex, but it works, it has it`s moments, and if you`re a dog lover you`ll definitely be hooked to this one.
If it weren`t for one scene I think that this easily could have been very kid friendly, but there is some explicit scenes, so I can`t really recommend it to a kid under 14 years of age.
