Thunder

❤️

I am literally tearing up. To know I have so many friends who go through that is so hard. I cannot imagine.

Reminds me of how thunder affected me after I returned from Iraq. Took a few years before I didn't spaz when I heard it.

Favourite!! ❤️❤️

one of my fave comics!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! <3

Oh My heart! Brutus 😥💔 PTSD 😥💔 so very sad.

❤️

Oooh Brutus <3

That was a great strip!

Right in the feels :')

MY HEART!

This one always hits me in the feels

This is the first comic of yours I saw, and I was hooked!

I just want to cuddle them both! <3

This one hits close to home

I want to hug them both.

this one make me cry :'(

I love the way you faded the transition from dream to reality Very effective..

Has anyone translated that second panel?

Ahh I love it when we get background info!!!!

It just occurred to me.... that also could have been the battle where Brutus lost his master.

I'm crying, poor Brutus. Yet Pixie saves the day! <3 Thank you for sharing.

I'm not crying, you're crying. This is such a lovely comic dealing with such a often hard to discuss topic

>sniff<

I almost always like your comics, they're hilarious, sometimes make me think, but, this one is simply beautiful and amazing, and the words fail me.

😭I'm not crying. 😭😭 I'm not. 😭😭😭

Pixies' Brutu's salvation in so many ways <3

This is kinda contradicting tho. I remember a comic where because brutus is afraid and worried, pixie comes to comfort him. When brutus says no or something, pixie days I wanna do it... Something like that

The communication among the soldiers you used is quite well researched. I didn't really expect that to be honest.

Damn as someone who struggles with ptsd... This hits close to home.

That’s some really good Spanish there!! 😉😅

I thought there was another one about Brutus being scared of fire works. I was looking for it the other day it was one if my favourites but I couldn't find it.

My heart. 💘 I am not crying.... I just got allergies.. 😭

No....no that's fine I wasn't going to use my heart at all today. Is it raining in here?

I absolutely love it! Way to save the day Pixie! Well night I guess lol!

This is just so heartbreaking and lovely at the same time

Love!!!!

, If I wanted to have feels, I'll go youtube to re-watch Der Neue. My poor Brutus, glad he has now Pixie to support him.

❤❤❤ this one made tears well up. I'm glad Pixie can help with his PTSD

My heart breaks for Brutus. No one thinks what they could go through, and its like Pixie is his service animal too. Love it

I absolutely love this story. It's heartbreaking and powerful and shows what PTSD looks like. I hope you keep writing about Brutus' story. As much as I adore Pixie, and love their interaction, I could hear stories from Brutus' background all day.

Oh, my heart! 😭

This got me 😭

This morning I listened to a podcast about the rescue dogs of 9/11.. and now this. I'm gonna go home now.

This actually made me a little misty eyed. Great work on this one.

From the partner of a vet... yup, this is what it is like.

Lie down, try not to cry, cry a lot...

Oh my heart! 😭♥️

How true and emotive. Thank you for sharing pieces like this!

❤️❤️❤️❤️

Excellent installment, I love how you can see the age on Brutus in the present day panels. Thank you! Backstory is my favorite!

Poor pup. I'm glad they have each other.

Probably one of my favorite posts

Right in the feels

Oh, this one causes pain. Poor Brutus

Aweh this made me cry. I love the gentle approach to his PTSD and how they help each other. 💕

Their friendship is so beautiful - what a wonderful way to wake up this morning.

My heart. Poor Brutus.

I didn't plan to be crying on Wednesday morning, but well, here we are. Right in the feels!

ouch, that hurt. wanna hug em both

How did he get the scar?? Is this flaskback from his rookie (within first couple years in service) deployment?? I dont need sleep I need answers!!

Wow!

Oh my God. Brutus is such a fragile creature, I love the fact that he needs Pixie as much as Pixie needs him

PTSD man. It's real even for your service dogs...

Beautiful.

My heart, man!

Big awwww! Nicely written :)

I cried. 🤧

Awee Brutus :o Very nice depiction of PTSD <3 makes too much sense for him to have it.. glad he has Pixie

I'm not crying, you're crying... beautiful babies I love them and their friendship so much

I love how Brutus's desire to calm Pixie actually calmed him. Brutus is the hero we need.

Oh, the poor baby <3

Love it! My heart is so warm 🥰

Well written; seems to me like it's a bloody good practical example of flashbacks (not to mention showing anyone can be effected). Bravo Zulu

Ouch. My heart. Poor brutus! I'm glad pixie was there for him!

Oh, my heart

Damn, someone must be cutting onions or I have something in my eyes. ;_;

I love this so much!

I did not think I would find so much dust in my room today. Or is it onions? Something, I'm sure.

I absolutely love this. Would love to share it, but will wait until after posted to Instagram (if allowed to do so).

I didn't realize that he didn't have the eye scar in the flashback until my... 3rd read through. I'm absolutely crying right now but this is great! I love the little tidbits with Brutus' handler. I wonder if he has some commands that are only in spanish... Could be interesting if some cute old lady in the neighborhood accidentally gives Brutus one of his old commands and all the other pets are absolutely floored lol Just my where my mind goes 😂

Brutus is so used to helping/saving Pixie, but this time she unknowingly saved him. <3

Brutus the hero!!!

This is beautiful. 😭

I'm fine, it's just raining on my face 😭

Oh ok guess ill cry now

I'm not crying, you're crying! 😭😭😭

As someone who suffers from PTSD, thank you for this. In just a few beautiful panels you perfectly illustrated the trauma of being setting off, as well as how little things can help take the edge off. Thank you!

Oh my! Poor Brutus and PTSD. Bad enough in us humans...

I wish I could give this more than one like!!!

This is heartbreaking. Poor Brutus. Thank goodness Pixie needed his help. 💖

No no that's fine, I wasn't using my heart anyway. Go ahead and trample all over it.

Aaaaand...there are tears.

Ohh my heart 💕

Thank you so much for this one! It is everything!💜

<3

Amazing work. Poor Brutus.

Awwww poor Brutus, Pixie is so sweet and innocent... little did she know that she helped him out just as much he does...

This is so beautiful. Full of emotion. Keep up the good work!

Wonderful comic. my dad was a war veteran and he wasn't huge on fireworks so I know how Brutus feels. beautiful piece of art

Amazing emotion here!

I died. I am dead. This may be favourite comic so far

Oh man this one was rough. My poor heart.

oh geez..... got "something" in my eye by the third slide..... and it won't go away 😭

they'll be fine😭

Poor Brutus. I'm trying not to cry. At least Pixie was able to bring him out of it

I'm looking at this at work and trying not to cry. Poor Brutus! 🥺😢

This is heart breaking but very very true!

Got me right in the feels ❤❤❤

My heart ♥

Poor Brutus🥺❤️

Very nicely done.

Poor pup! Trauma and PTSD in animals is very real...

This is the best one you've done. Thank you.

I really love this. Thank you

Right in the feels, now I'm ugly crying 😭

My heart 😭😭

This is one of the best comics you've done. The realness of it got to me. I love when people give rep to these real issues and you think you really gave the PTSD justice here. And I love how pixie is able to ground him. They have such a great relationship.

Oh Brutus 💔

Ohhh...ohhh Brutus😭😭😭😭😭💙💙💙💙

MY HEART

Oh man, this hit me hard. Love it! I AM NOT CRYING, YOU ARE CRYING!

I’m crying! 😭😍

Bravo, por esos amigos que nos llenan de amor, de paz y tranquilidad, aún sin saberlo

I'm not crying YOU'RE crying!

Ok, someone must be cutting onions around here. *sniff*

This is so awesome!!! I love it!! Keep up the good work!

So good!!

Awwwww 💔💜 the way she inadequately gives him comfort warms my heart. it aches for Brutus! 😭

As someone who have served and been to Afghanistan this one hits home, especially as the worst time of the year for this particular trigger is approaching (New Years)... Thanks for making me remember that this too will pass <3

Ohh my heart

BLESS HIM AND HIS BIG EARS

Omg this just broke my heart. I love how he echoes the same words the soldier said to him. He was probably just as scared and trying to reassure Brutus.

Amazing❤❤ really love flashbacks like these about Brutus past!!

Sweet Brutus will always have Pixie to keep company and calm his mind and heart.

This is just so lovely. My heart was melting throughout the entire comic!

I really want more of his backstory

In the feels!!

This is the absolute best.

So I shouldn't have read this at work

Ahh my heart!

Could anyone translate the Spanish? I'm a normy and only an monolingual 😭

Yes this is perfect, thank you

Oh, when I didn't think I could love Brutus more

THIS HIT ME IN THE FEELS MAN

Oh my... Beautiful!

This is the one everyone wanted to happen ❤️❤️

I love when you address military issues by using Brutus' military service. Our military men and women struggle when they come home from combat zones. Thank you for your sensitivity and ability and desire to educate the masses on what they go through on a daily basis.

Aaaw Brutus ❤️

I'm glad this is going to be a public comic. It absolutely needs to be shared with everybody. Thank you!

I'm not crying. You are

I've not been to war but disaster relief can be just as traumatizing especially when the situation is actively ongoing and all you can do is watch. My other packmates were deployed and we're on the front line. We know this pain in our own ways. I suppose, in a way, Brutus and Pixie balance eachother out, she's like a reminder of the innocence he served for and helps to keep out bad flashbacks.

My heart! And young Brutus too!

My wife brings me back from my demons just like this. We're literally the human Pixie and Brutus.

It makes me cry.

I need more in spanish 😻

This is the most beautiful thing in the universe, when you have to be strong for someone else even if inside you die of fear

this is my favorite one ❤

❤️❤️❤️

I think this is something a lot of fans were waiting for. Very sweet.

My heart! I wasnt looking for these feels!

Oh my heart.

This time pixie saved brutus

As a veteran myself I want to thank you for this powerful comic! Perhaps it can make more people understand the hidden pain...

No no no this made me cry and I just did my makeup 😭😭

Damned onion cutting ninjas around here...

As a veteran, and a spouce to combat veteran with PTSD, and a GSD service dog that help with that... this just made me cry. Thank you so much for this. Please, make this one public.

Love it

I'm not crying. My eyes are just raining.

Awwww I'm crying this is so sweet

Poor Brutus. 😭😢 He is the best of boys & I’m glad he’s got Pixie.

Damn it. Must be an onion here somewhere

Mah heart... 😭😭😭

As someone who has CPTSD (not war related but still) this is such a powerful comic. Pixie is basically representing my dog and I'm brutus...

Thanks I'm crying at work.

Aww man. I was not ready for this. 😢😢😢

Pixie is his therapy animal 😭😭😭

Brutus 💔.

I'm not crying.....you are 😭😭😭😭

This is so adorable!

😭😭😭😭😭

My heart!😭

Pixie and Brutus battle buddies

People forget that millitary dogs can suffer from PTSD as well. Great comic!

I agree with the other who said-😭😭😭😭😭😭😭😭😭

Thunder Buddies!

Awww! Poor Brutus!! I love how he always puts on that face for Pixie, but I think she sometimes knows when he needs her. Like Aktwin Grakata said - he's got himself an emotional support kitten!!

Oh my!! This so good.

😭😭😭😭😭😭😭😭😭😭

I'm not crying... 😢

MY HEART!!

😭😭😭

I AM NOT CRYING. THIS IS JUST AUTOMATED FACE HYDRATION.

Love learning about Brutus history before he came to live with pixie

I started tearing up from this

Beautiful..

Awww Pixie ❤️

💙💙💙

And now I’m crying in public. Oof

For once it's Pixie doing the protecting

I love the bond between them! 😭🥰🥰🥰

Dude, wtf... 😭😭😭 I just want to hug him!!!😭

Why must you do this to my emotions. So great to get a bit of insight into Brutus' past.

I'm not crying, you're crying!

Service dog got himself an emotional support kitten

IM NOT CRYING YOU ARE

😭😭😭😭😭😭😭

😭😭😭 ❤️❤️❤️

Ah, it looks like its beginning to rain

My heart melts.

Just rip out my heart and take it.

This is soo sad 😥

😭

omg amazing <3

This made me cry. Thanks for fulfilling the request for this story.

Oh nooo 😭

I love it so much! I imagine Brutus would be scared as of his past and its lovely how Pixie helps him!❤🥰

Emotions

😭😭😭 the babeys

😭
