Sansha & Blanco
Graphic Novel - Slice of Life
This emotional paw-driven story follows two dogs, sister Sansha and her brother Blanco, trapped in an overgrown backyard. While Blanco seems to have made peace with captivity, Sansha can't forget their past; the freedom of stray life in a mobile home park, where the world was wide open and every day was theirs to claim.
Based on a true story, this journey reveals the American dream through the eyes of our nation's 150+ million household pets who watch our world change from behind fences, and remember what freedom tasted like before suburbia swallowed it whole.
Set against the nostalgic backdrop of vintage Americana with car hops, drive-in movie theaters, and fading mobile home parks, this thought-provoking tale explores what happens when we trade wilderness for safety.
