(W) McDonnell, Patrick (A) McDonnell, Patrick (C) McDonnell, Patrick
ABRAMS COMICARTS
StockID: 122779 SKU: JUL241196
Guard Dog made his debut in Mutts in 1995 and quickly became one of the comic strip's most beloved characters. As a chained dog longing for freedom- he's played an important role in raising awareness about the cruelty of tethering and has inspired countless Mutts readers to become involved in animal welfare. In October 2023- nearly three decades after his debut- Guard Dog's freedom story began to unfold in newspapers and online. After being abandoned by his owner- left alone and suffering- Guard Dog was discovered by his animal friends Mooch and Earl- and ultimately rescued by Doozy- a kindly neighborhood girl- and Ozzie- Earl's guardian. After years of visiting Guard Dog to provide him with comfort and support- Doozy adopted him-marking the end of a long life of neglect and the beginning of one filled with love and safety. Featuring the complete story- now in color for the first time- Breaking the Chain is an emotionally resonant vignette whose grounding in the real-life animal neglect issues that affect millions of chained dogs worldwide will move both long-time Mutts fans and first-time readers.
