Maria Bamford, comedienne extrodinaire, is married to artist Scott Marvel Cassidy, and this is their story, as told by their many pugs. We see them meet and become a family, in all their weird glory. Bamford, known for her candor about her mental illness, and Cassidy, who also shares his struggles, are open and honest about who they are and their insecurities. The many elderly pugs who tell the story are a fun and inventive way to let us peek into their lives.
A very sweet and charming look at the love and marriage, despite trauma and mental illness, of two people through the eyes of their old pugs.
As a person who has always had older dogs, and a current elderly pug now, this book was super cute to have been told from the dog's point of view.
This was a sweet and charming story infused with empathy and a wry sense of humor. The artwork complimented the story, and though I was skeptical of dog narrators, it worked.
