 This graphic novel really got to me. There is a forward that reads: "Named after the dogs that tend to stare at the stars wistfully. Just as we all wish for something that we will never possess." I'm the sort of person who dreams constantly about things, people, places and experiences that will probably never be mine to hold, so the personal effect was strong for me. Bit of a funny story though: The first time I read this I was in a Barnes & Noble by myself. I was listening to music and as I continued to read, I came to a part of the book that was extremely emotional. The protagonist dies after forming a very close kinship with the dog. Not long after this, the dog dies as well. There is a beautiful few pages where what seems like an afterlife is shown. The owner and the dog are reunited, happier than ever. The dog is completely overjoyed to be in the arms of his owner and taken for a walk once again. At the moment when the dog and his owner are reunited, this song was playing on my ipod and hit the 2:18 mark: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=P6wJiweByng I've never had more difficulty holding back tears in public.
