My 10 year old really loved this book. We don't have a dog, but I grew up with them. My daughter loves graphic novels and she thought this was really cute and really funny. And she loved it even more knowing that I don't like pugs. :) I have never liked pugs. So she thought it was even better for that.

Although we don't have dogs, I recognize the things Mochi did because of stories I have heard from friends and because some were similar to things my kids did. Cute and fun book.

It's soooo cute and witty! I never had a chance to be a pawrent so I'm glad I'm able to live vicariously through this book. It's really funny, plus the adorable art makes it even more loveable. I'd definitely recommend this to dog lovers and anyone who's looking for a short but sweet read!

I swallowed this book up in one sitting!

As a pug lover from afar, I immediately fell in love with Mochi as portrayed. The artist has his appearance down to a tee, and she has a great ability to convey movements and meanings without using words all the time; I even found myself imagining the accompanying sounds.

A book that anyone, young or old, can hugely enjoy.

Cloyingly sweet cartoons about a woman and her pug dog - oh, and her partner, her work, her home life, etc, but 99.99% about her pug. She's given him a voice and a strong character, so the quips in the text come across well, but don't expect much in the way of light-and-dark, drama, shade, complexity... As a result it will be fellow dog-lovers alone nodding along to their selfishness, their eagle eye for prime sleeping real estate, their love of all the wrong foods, and so on. Competently created, it's better than the usual cut-and-paste-cartoons-from-the-net-about-pets book.

This comic was super cute and totally relatable. I identified with Mochi and his mami so much. Thanks so much for the opportunity to read and view this story.

It was kinda cute but a little repetitive.
I will also never understand adults that call themselves Mom and Dad of a pet, no matter how much they love them.

Also, I wasn't really strong on the art. It was a little weird...

Living with Mochi is delightful! I was in love by the time I hit the front cover flap seeing Mochi proudly announce "this book is about me!" As a fur-baby mom myself, I instantly related to this comic. The illustrations are amazing. I was laughing out loud while reading this, I almost spit out my coffee. Thank you for allowing me to read this eARC, I will most definitely be buying a copy once published... make that a few copies to give to my friends too.

Funny and sweet comics on being a dog parent.

I lost my one and only fur baby nearly a year ago, so this book was a nice way for me to relive some of our treasured memories. Living With Mochi is a book about daily life with a naughty pug named Mochi who loves his Mami more than anything, prefers human over other dogs, who knows he is a treasure but obnoxiously prefers Mami over Papi. It's simply a sweet comic collection which any dog parent will totally relate to.

My favorite thing about this book is that Mochi is spoiled rotten to a comedic effect, but he knows anything will be forgiven because humans love him so much,

Completely adorable and very relatable to every dog owner. The art style is so endearing and perfectly suits the sweet snippet-of-life storytelling.
