A moving graphic memoir about companionship, family, and the extraordinary impact one Bernese mountain dog can have on a life
When Cedric adopts a Bernese puppy on a whim, he unwittingly upends his life. Suddenly forced to rethink everything from his home life to his career, he discovers that Ubac is far more than a pet: he is a companion who opens the door to new experiences, new relationships, and a deeper appreciation of the world around him.
Over the ensuing years, as Cedric finds love, pursues his ambitions, and builds a family, his dog remains a constant presence through every milestone and setback-even as he grows older and their relationship evolves.
This graphic memoir is a moving portrait of companionship, family, and the passage of time, capturing the profound impact a pet can have on our lives.
