Featuring artists and writers from India and USA, DOGS! An Anthology is a collection of comics on life’s canine companions. In this collection you will encounter stories about dogs that are post-apocalyptic, self-reflective, murderous, environmentally conscious—and much more!
This collection of comics was conceived after a series of meandering conversations with artists revealed a shared admiration for dogs amongst comics-wallahs, as well as a collective desire to explore what the world would look like from the other end of a snout. Perhaps imagining life as a dog could reveal something as yet unseen about our world to ourselves and our readers? The result is grungier, grittier, darker and, at times, more poignant than one could have predicted.
Edited by Vidyun Sabhaney & Jeremy Stoll, this collection features unusual dogs with unusual stories—some dogs chat about life in big cities, whereas others find ways to stop littering in Delhi’s own Mehrauli. Some dogs appear in dreams, while others rescue humans in a post-apocalyptic landscape. Self-published comics have always been a space to tell stories that otherwise may get overlooked, and this collection on dogs is just that!
Proceeds from sales will go to Sai Ashram Animal Shelter and Red Paws Rescue.

DOGS! An Anthology Reviews
-
The book is overall enjoyable and a solid 3 stars, but that last Orijit Sen short is just lovely and, for me, bumps it up a star.
-
'Dogs! An Anthology' presents an otherworldly view of dogs and their owners that we sometimes tend to look over. The artwork by Shohei Emura delights the inner child in me, while the sketches by Jeremy Stoll captures the essence of street dogs at large.
