My name is Erez Zadok and I’m an illustrator and comic book artist and my goal is to create simple but relatable illustrations about the everyday joys of raising my female dog, Joya.
In my weekly series of comics, Bundle Of Joya, I want you to know how it’s like to be a proud dog owner. The continuous struggle of getting Joya showered, the sudden jumping on my crotch, the early morning wake up and getting used to eating her fur is just a small percentage of my daily domestic adventures of raising a dog. Be prepared, after reading this series, you may want to adopt a dog yourself if you haven’t done it already.
If you hooked up with the adorable Joya you’re more than welcome to follow my Instagram account for more “Bundle Of Joya” weekly illustrations.
Scroll down for a collection of some of my favorites, and don't forget to let me know which ones you like the most.

Just like my corgi when I try to wash his dirty belly after a muddy walk.

I have the exact opposite problem. My mutt loves water. Every freaking time I wanna enjoy a hot nice bubble bath, he wants to join 😂

We've discovered our dogs are much happier if their bath water is only an inch or two deep.

My dog is not interested AT ALL when I smell of any other dog. I guess it's because he's from a shelter with 450 other dogs and it's just normal to him, that people smell of other dogs.
Zori the degu 7 years ago
Same with my buddy. At least this way I know he loves me, he's so jealous when I pet other male dogs. I'm his girl, after all!

Our big orange cat would sniff my sons jeans and spray all over them, if he smelled another cat.

My dog goes on walks with me, my girlfriend, and Zoey (my girlfriend's dog) so whenever I come home smelling like Zoey, my dog actually gets more excited.

My dog gets excited when he sees his jumper and tries to dive in head first. He hates being cold!! He'll even go and get his own jumper and sit in front of us until we put it on him...

The people in my neighborhood get livid when they across dog poop in the local park, which would be completely understandable if said park also wasn't home to coyotes. Every time they take to social media to complain about it, they are reminded that wild animals aren't trained to pick up after themselves. Yet they still insist on complaining.
Amy Tilling 7 years ago
There is an easy solution... Instead of moaning about it just pick up a poo whenever you walk through. It may not be from your dog but somehow I doubt the coyotes actually belong to anyone so that arguement won't work. You're the one bothered so you fix it!

Every time I think of this sort of thing, I remind myself just how lucky I am to have my shih-tzu Charlie.

When your house fills to the brim with tumble fur(same like tumble weed but made from fur) and the vacuum cleaner refuses to do its job any longer. All of us, high-shedding dog owners, every single day!
John L 7 years ago
Why don't you get a non-shedding dog? There are a number of breeds, including the shih-tzu. Go and look here: - https://www.homesalive.ca/blog/dogs-that-dont-shed-23-hypoallergenic-dog-breeds/

Cats are worse. We have 4 + the dog. If I don't get around to sweeping we get furball tumbleweeds rolling across the hardwood floor. Good times.

I make Argo shake well in the bathroom or he drowns all the corridor leading to our room(where he starts drying and "desmelling" himself from the shampoo thoroughly via rubbing in the carpet).

whenever i wash my dog, we try to keep her from shaking. It never works tho. As soon as we open the door she RUNS down the hall and bag drags on the floor. hilarious!

One of my dogs, the Italian Greyhound mix (we call her a Drat, half deer half rat) does this very thing. She loves going outside, will turn herself inside out with joy at the prospect of a walk, will leap enthusiastically into the car... the minute you turn the car on the joy dies into utter silence, and the second you start driving the most pathetic why- are- you- murdering- me howl/whine chimes from her and she tries desperately to simultaneously climb into my lap, hide behind me, and climb on top of me. All the while sounding like we're chopping her tail off. The second the car is turned off the joy and bounce reappear.

Hilarious! Loved your descriptions, I hope your dog is small as Joya, otherwise I guess it really hurts...

Your dog has to have a restraint in Australia. In Western Aus, it is illegal for the dog to sit on the drivers lap.
Jasmyn Du Bois 7 years ago
She's about 30lbs. Slightly larger than your average Italian Greyhound, but painfully thin and pointy.
Jasmyn Du Bois 7 years ago
She's about 30 lbs, just big enough that she's unmanageable but not big enough to keep in a seat.

Exactly the same problem!! His other favourite pose at times is when I'm lying down he'll lie with his bum under my chin and his head on my stomach. Had to shift him so his bum points over my shoulder away from my face!!

This is just mean. You shouldn't tease a dog like this. How would you like it if u were locked inside all day and someone teased you about going outside? "You wanna go outside? No. F**k you." Doesn't sound nice, does it?

it's really mean to tease a dog like this, hope it's just a drawing and not something you actually do, Erez.

A pet is a baby. He is a dad. He doesn't need a human baby to be a parent. Pets are way better anyway.
adoracat 7 years ago
Pets are furry toddlers, yes. I think each person decides for themselves whether pets are enough or if they want children, too. (But I'm not pushing my kids in either direction, other than the very occasional joke.)

Ouch. I went to "Argo", the ship, with my pooch once. Argo made a point to puke in front of his ship. S**t happens. The hardest part is to try to look casual as you collect the chocolate cake or paste.

C'mon!! It is a joke!! Some children are very gentle with my dogs but they would never leave my side. It's good to make them socialize plus it is a comic! It is supposed to be funny. People exagerate daily situations on a comic. Or did you think there was a real shark in the bathtub? Amazing job Erez.
Larissa McDonald 7 years ago
I think it was intended to be sort of a forced perspective of him just being overly used to children always wanting pet every animal they see-as in it doesn’t even bother him anymore...but it seems you tried to hunt down the most offensive thing you can think of and sling it at the artist in the form of an accusation and on the basis of pure presumption.

Your style is awesome and the subject of the comics is exactly to my taste! All these "we've all been there" moments that make you laugh later. That's why I never want to be left "dogless" in my life ever again. I've been living with my first dog for 8 months and they were enough for me to determine that my life was empty without a dog. People, get a dog! There would be laughing, there would be shouting, there would be smiles, there would be tears, but you won't regret it!
