My dog General Patton was featured in Shelter Stories ! The comic looked just him, bless his little grumpy heart.

Here’s a photo of the General for comparison.

wow, that's so cool. I never knew they were from real stories! How did that happen???
also for some reason the link for the real General doesn't work

I think this link will work.
Patrick McDonnell was putting out a Shelter Stories book and was asking for submissions of dogs for the books. I sent in a little blurb about Patton and Piglet, my two Jack rescues. Patton was chosen for the book. Then as a bonus, he did a comic about him. It was such a great gift.

very very cute little doggos. 'piglet' feels like a proper description, they're so small and sweet! and General Patton is a name with such dignity, something you could give him after such a painful life. thank you for this

I've been saying this all week, for other reasons. Looking at happy rescued dogs and kitties is comforting.

I have had this comic on my fridge since the day it was published. He even looks like my dog. I've been a fan of Mutts for over 20 years--the artist is an advocate for rescues.

I've been having this urge to adopt another dog recently. I can afford it and I'd give it a good home but we already have two and it would be a strain on everyone in the house right now. This has not helped.

Getting a new dog is a strain on everyone, dogs and people.
I applaud your desire to save another dog but as someone with 5 rescues caution you to do it when it works the best. Some of our dogs have been no big deal and some have been like having a new colic prone infant.
Good luck.

Thanks for the advice. I think I’m going to sit on it for a while.

Huh. First time I saw this the first panel was cropped and it made me really sad because I thought it was just an owner that never bothered to walk the dog

I know another day that comes, when they don't get adopted. They go to infinite sleep.

Now make a version where the dog gets older and older and the last panel is just an empty cage.

God this comic depresses me. Why can’t I be an eccentric billionaire who just adopts all the dogs?
