Fetch: How a Bad Dog Brought Me Home
By Nicole J. Georges. 2017
From an award-winning artist, a memoir of life with a difficult, beloved dog that will resonate with anybody who has…
ever had a less than perfectly behaved pet When Nicole Georges was sixteen she adopted Beija, a dysfunctional shar-pei/corgi mix—a troublesome combination of tiny and attack, just like teenaged Nicole herself. For the next fifteen years, Beija would be the one constant in her life. Through depression, relationships gone awry, and an unmoored young adulthood played out against the backdrop of the Portland punk scene, Beija was there, wearing her “Don’t Pet Me” bandana. Georges’s gorgeous graphic novel Fetch chronicles their symbiotic, codependent relationship and probes what it means to care for and be responsible to another living thing—a living thing that occasionally lunges at toddlers. Nicole turns to vets, dog whisperers, and even a pet psychic for help, but it is the moments of accommodation, adaption, and compassion that sustain them. Nicole never successfully taught Beija “sit,” but in the end, Beija taught Nicole how to stay. Advisory: Bookshare has learned that this book offers only partial accessibility.

Benjamin has pushed his parents to their limit. It's not like he can tell them why he's so angry at life, or that he'll do anything to distract himself from the lust he feels toward his best friend's sexy cousin, Dino. He can't even protest when he's sent away from Miami to spend the summer working on his grandparents' farm in the desolate fjords of Western Norway. The farm is isolated and old-fashioned, and so are Ben's religious grandparents. It's cold and wet, and Ben is miserable and restless. Relief comes in the form of Even, the eighteen-year-old blond Viking farmhand who offers Ben friendship and a new outlook on his situation. But Even is hiding issues of his own. Ben's grandparents want him to inherit the farm, but the only thing keeping Ben there is his desire to know Even better. As the feelings between the two young men grow, things kept hidden are slowly revealed--for good and ill--and they must turn to unlikely places for encouragement.
