Buckles by David Gilbert for December 27, 2021

Let’s not forget that the Soviets sent up Laika with no intention of returning her safely to Earth again. ASTRODOG may not be a recommended career choice.

Go with drug-sniffing dog training. It has benefits ;-)

All of the expressions of the lovable Buckles today are just Soooooo precious that it was hard to pick out one , but panel two is truly my favor today . And not to leave out Pauls expressions with Buckles in the last panel are super . : )

And, well, he’s not exactly a working breed, it would seem…

Buckles is my emotional support dog

Would that be “in the home” with your wife? Or is Jill permitted to work?

“In the 90’s”. Yep, this strip really did originate in the 90’s.

Careful what you ask for you just might get it. 90% of women in the 1950s were full time stay at home house wives and mothers. Today it’s 10% of women in those roles. Is society better off now?……

Buckles the safest place for a dog is in the home. I hate to tell you what happened to the poor dog astronaut, not good. stay home be safe.

Buckles would be an excellent therapy dog! Therapy dogs are for others, not for yourself. I can picture Buckles in a library, having kids read to him, and him reading right back. Or cuddling up to someone in need in a hospital or nursing home. I would really enjoy seeing him the required classes being told to sit, stay, etc!

At least one dog was trained to call 911 at the sound of the owner’s heart monitor alarm.

Buckles would be a great Canine Sommelier, he certainly knows his whine.

Don’t tell him the astronaut dog didn’t come back.
