Nicole J. Georges

A graphic memoir from the author of Calling Dr. Laura about a difficult, beloved dog

How a Bad Dog Brought Me Home

Fetch

Maggie Gordon

So, as fair warning, be prepared to cry big ugly tears. Many of them. Fetch is a dog story that ends in death. I know, spoilers, but enough people tend to care about knowing about this type of plot before they read something that it seems warranted to mention upfront, and it really should not come as much a surprise given this memoir covers the dog's entire life. Fetch is a beautiful book about Georges' life, her struggles with love and community, and her never-ending connection with her faithful, but weird and challenging dog. She is intensely truthful about her mistakes and ill-advised behaviour, but without self-flagellation. This is the story of a woman who had a messed up childhood and clung to something familiar as a symbol of many things, both healthy and terrible. I love Georges' memoirs as she has led an interesting life despite her young age, and she writes with a lot of compassion. Beija forever!
