This Dog’s Life with Ira G

From Asheville, North Carolina, it’s This Dog’s Life. I’m Ira G. Each week, of course, I pick a theme and present a story in four panels.

Today on our program: Looking Back. How do you overcome a rough start in life? Sometimes it feels like the deck is stacked; like the universe is almost conspiring against you. And then it gives you chicken…and love. Stay tuned.

    awweee Ira!

  • Kathleen McCafferty

    Ira promises to work on his drawing skills — and his handwriting too. :)

    I don't get the chicken part. oh i love this project though. but i don't get how chicken saved him. maybe i need a 5th panel? and Sahara would say, if she said things, “how can I get a doghawk?”

    You're right, Dee. It does seem kind of random. But it's true! There's a lot unsaid between the panels. When I “chose” Ira he was in really bad shape. So I fed him chicken. And he recovered!

    when i was about 11 or 12 i used to draw comics about how all of our dogs (we had about 6 at the time) were in a traveling band. this reminds me of those days, but a million times better. plus ira is the doggie rock star of all time <3

    He's looking forward to meeting you too, and pining for the day he gets to meet Sahi. Someday. He also thinks she's too pretty for a 'hawk.
