what a beautiful dog, i said

one day, I sat down at a cafe next to a woman and a white dog.

"what a beautiful dog," I said.

two days later, the dog came home with me -- and stayed with me ever since.

I named her Luna, but that wasn't her original name. she was born in Beirut; likely purchased as a puppy. she's a samoyed, somewhere between 7-9 years old, and had two previous owners, who both left her for other countries. the woman I met at the cafe was a foster caretaker, who had found Luna through an Istanbul rescue community.

I named her Luna -- because she follows me around the house, like the moon, in every country, calm and constant, even in its different phases. I would take her to every country I move to.

I'm experimenting with creating a comic series about luna & me. here is page / day zero -- exactly what happened, only two months ago.
