Thanks to the publisher and netgalley for this arc。 I loved Mochi SO much。 I think if I lived alone I would have a dog as spoiled as him and the author is fantastic。 Now that my dog is older， we spoil him so much more than before。 But that was not always like it。 I could relate with her parents because losing a dearest dog is heartbreaking and more if you pass his illness。 But I even agree with gemma the longing to have a dog and her crazyness about him。 I totally relate to it。 I read it in a on Thanks to the publisher and netgalley for this arc。 I loved Mochi SO much。 I think if I lived alone I would have a dog as spoiled as him and the author is fantastic。 Now that my dog is older， we spoil him so much more than before。 But that was not always like it。 I could relate with her parents because losing a dearest dog is heartbreaking and more if you pass his illness。 But I even agree with gemma the longing to have a dog and her crazyness about him。 I totally relate to it。 I read it in a one sitting and laugh all the way down。 So much of the situations were the funniest because its true and she could represent it all so SO well。 Im actually very grateful and honored to be able to read this arc and get to know Mochi。 Now I’m a follower to！ Gemma: let me say to you that you are AMAZING。 Im looking forward for more from you and keep this way please！ I been blessed。 EVERYONE PLEASE READ THIS FANTABULOUS BOOK ALRIGHT？？？？ 。。。more

Gemma Gené's Living With Mochi introduces readers to her very spoilt， rolly poly pug。 Gené's wish for a dog is finally fulfilled once she gets married， and her life with Mochi begins。 Mochi is clingy， stubborn and awkward （his friendship with black Lab Ben is really cute） - Gené clearly adores him。 And eventually her husband and in-laws， too。 I have， of course， done the responsible thing and sent some screenshots to my boyfriend Monty so he knows what to expect if/when we get a dog someday。The o Gemma Gené's Living With Mochi introduces readers to her very spoilt， rolly poly pug。 Gené's wish for a dog is finally fulfilled once she gets married， and her life with Mochi begins。 Mochi is clingy， stubborn and awkward （his friendship with black Lab Ben is really cute） - Gené clearly adores him。 And eventually her husband and in-laws， too。 I have， of course， done the responsible thing and sent some screenshots to my boyfriend Monty so he knows what to expect if/when we get a dog someday。The occasional pop of colour is a welcome element in Geré's work， as most of the book is in greyscale。If you already love dogs， this is a fun quick read。 The book evolved out of Gené's daily comics about Mochi， 157ofgemma。 According to the blurb， she missed him so much she'd draw him on her commute （awww！ Also relateable）。3/5 stars - a love letter to one cheeky pug。 Perfect for dog parents and especially pug fans。 。。。more

Architect-turned-cartoonist Gemma Gené brings to life her relationship with her pug Mochi in this endearing collection of illustrations that is Living With Mochi。 Mochi is an omnivorous， adorable， scene-stealing star， and his parents know this about him and clearly love to celebrate it， except maybe when he steals half of the bed at night， along with a pillow and half the duvet。 Gené shares her stories of love and family， food and sleep， with whimsical illustrations that show the cute pug at his Architect-turned-cartoonist Gemma Gené brings to life her relationship with her pug Mochi in this endearing collection of illustrations that is Living With Mochi。 Mochi is an omnivorous， adorable， scene-stealing star， and his parents know this about him and clearly love to celebrate it， except maybe when he steals half of the bed at night， along with a pillow and half the duvet。 Gené shares her stories of love and family， food and sleep， with whimsical illustrations that show the cute pug at his best and and at his worst。 There are good days for Mochi—when he gets to eat ice cream， when he gets to snuggle with his Mami， when he gets to play with his dog friend Ben at the park。 And there are the bad days for Mochi—when it’s raining， when he has to spend time alone， when he has to go to the vet （although to be fair， it doesn’t seem like that’s a great day for the vet either）。 Even though Gené had been dreaming for years of a black pug， she took one look at Mochi and knew that he was the one。 Mochi knew it too。 And then he threw up on her。 （He vomits easily， especially when there is a change in his environment。） Living With Mochi is a realistic portrayal of life with a beloved pet。 There are boundary issues， they beg you for food （their own as well as yours）， they sit on your lap as well as your laptop， they sleep on your feet or your head or your face。 （I may know a little about this type of relationship。 He’s an orange cat with all the cuteness， but the way he rules our household is very much like how Mochi rules his。） But isn’t that what pet ownership is all about？ The love that warms your heart and heals you from the pain and indignities of life？ Living With Mochi is a celebration of the love we share with our pets and the light they bring to our lives。 This charming book is a perfect gift for pug lovers especially， but all pet lovers can relate to these stories。 And Mochi really is cute。 He will steal your heart， just like he did Gené’s。 Egalleys for Living With Mochi were provided by Andrews McMeel Publishing through NetGalley， with many thanks。 。。。more

Living With Mochi is a cute collection of vignettes from life with an adorable pug named Mochi。 The wide range of expressions Gemma Gené draws Mochi with are a delight。 Most pages feature two to three borderless panels/spot illustrations， and the narrative is easy to parse。 All of Gené's drawings have character， but I especially enjoyed the black and white watercolor style employed through most of the book。 This is the kind of book you can reread anytime for a quick pick me up。 Living With Mochi is a cute collection of vignettes from life with an adorable pug named Mochi。 The wide range of expressions Gemma Gené draws Mochi with are a delight。 Most pages feature two to three borderless panels/spot illustrations， and the narrative is easy to parse。 All of Gené's drawings have character， but I especially enjoyed the black and white watercolor style employed through most of the book。 This is the kind of book you can reread anytime for a quick pick me up。 。。。more

An adorable and humorous look at life with a truly special dog。 Although this book was aimed for Pug lovers， many of the situations portrayed are universal for dog lovers。Thank you to Netgalley for a copy of this book for review。

**ARC provided by NetGalley for honest review**Living With Mochi by Gemma Gené is a light， off-the-wall comics collection about a very human-like dog and his humans。 I liked this book， though some of the jokes seemed a little repetitive， and I will always be down for giving silly animal shenanigans a read。 As a fellow pet owner， I related to many of these humorous observations and would probably enjoy reading more about life with Mochi at some point。

This was delightful！ It was like a love letter to Mochi in comic form。 As someone who is obsessed with their dog I found this to be funny and very very relatable。 Mochi and my English Bulldog， Lady Gwen， have a lot in common。 A must read for dog lovers！Thank you Netgalley and the publisher for the e-galley。

All the comics are finny and quite cute， and at only 2-3 panels each they're easy to read when you have downtime and want something to read in short intervals。 All the comics are finny and quite cute， and at only 2-3 panels each they're easy to read when you have downtime and want something to read in short intervals。 。。。more

This is a super cute， fun and fast read。 I have never owned a dog but Mochi displays many cat traits so I had fun seeing what silly antics any pet can make。 This was great to pick up sporadically for a little breath of fun and to relax after a tough day。 Nothing really ground breaking here， but the art was super cute。 Nobody could be mad thinking about cute little， feisty pugs！Thank you to Netgalley and the publisher for a free copy for my unbiased opinion。
