Raine Dog is a graphic novel written by female furry artist D.C. Simpson, also released as a webcomic from 16 January 2009 on Keenspot.

Premise[edit]

The story focuses on Raine, an anthropomorphic dog who lives among humans with other recently liberated former house dogs. Raine, a liberated former house dog, recalls elements of her past, including childhood love and her treatment by humans and wild dogs.

Reception[edit]

Raine Dog has received mixed reactions from reviewers and fans. One reviewer praised Raine Dog as being a "well-executed" take on familiar themes.[1] Another review described Raine Dog as "subtle, yet breathtaking".[2]

The comic's left-wing politics were one subject of contention,[3][4] with one reviewer commenting, "Maybe Raine isn’t a liberal at all. Maybe Raine is secretly a Libertarian dog trying to subversively tick off everyone she meets into becoming an avid follower of Ayn Rand."[3]

Graphic responses[edit]

Artist Isaac M. Baranoff satirized D.C. Simpson's political views in his comic, Horndog, portraying a character named Alpha whose design was based upon that of Raine.[5][6]
