As the proud servant to two cats, I really loved this book! Based on the author's webcomic, this is a short, charming read that gave me all the happy feelings I require in a comic about pets. After finishing this I immediately started following Gemma's webcomic. This would make a great gift for the dog lover or pug human in your life.

This graphic novel was hilarious and well-drawn, definitely worth the money and the hype, and I hope will be successful!

Living with Mochi is a lot like living with a dog who thinks they’re a HUMAN!

Wow I can relate to this so much. I have two dogs, one who I’ve had for almost 9 years. She is a husky/lab mix and every bit sassy and smart, as huskies and labs are.

She has a lot of human tendencies and adores to be closest to her humans, going for car rides, taking her human sister to school, and eating all the treats.

Reading this made me think "Oh wow, this is what living with Bailey is like!"

A really cute, comic-style book about a pug and his owner (aka the autho). Honestly a perfect short read for any dog lovers out there, and I'm sure it'd be quite relatable for any pug owners! I really enjoyed seeing what Mochi the pug would get up to, and there were many a moments that had me laughing out loud! Would absolutely recommend :)

A cute set of comics, about a very fussy dog and the humans who don't seem to mind one bit. I don't think I'd like to live with Mochi, but it's funny to watch.

I have long adored these comics online and was thrilled to see them in book form. The illustrations are adorable and really convey the humor and emotion of dog ownership. Anyone who has a dog will relate HARD to these drawings- the book would make a perfect gift for dog-lovers!

Love Mochi! As a long-time fan of 157Gemma on instagram Ive loved watching the adventures of Mochi. Comics are cute, funny and relatable to lovers of flat-nose breeds.

While I enjoy the occasional strip about Mochi that pops up in my FB feed, more than 5 is just too much. Unfortunately while being cute to begin with, after a few pages it just felt like the author was trying too hard and it just became annoying.

This super adorable graphic novel collects webcomic artist @1570fgemma's adventures living with her dog, the always hungry and totally lovable pug, Mochi. Did I mention Mochi talks? Because for some reason, Mochi definitely talks. Think a twist on <i>Garfield</i>, but with a much more charming protagonist.

Adorable for any dog lover. Nothing very original here, but absolutely worth a look. It's very sweet.

Living with Mochi is a cute, relaxing easy read, that is nevertheless not particularly memorable. As a fellow dog owner of a slightly spoiled only dog, I could relate to some of the scenes, and chuckles at others. I'm not sure if the author was exaggerating Mochi's food habits for humorous effect, because if not, he eats like Garfield, but isn't going to live nearly as long. So that made me a little uncomfortable for his sake. But it was otherwise light, cute reading that I finished in one sitting. The art is simple black and white sketches, along the lines of Sarah's Scribbles. If you are a dog lover and enjoy personal webcomics like Sarah's Scribbles, but with less angst and more chubby pugs, this might be exactly the sweet, humorous comfort reading you're looking for.
