After visual artist Akiro Tea and her boyfriend Ben started petsitting a dog, their lives changed completely. Using their new experiences as inspiration, Akiro has perfectly documented the quirks in her comic series called “Awkward Moments.” Judging by the images, looking after the pup probably made the two of them desire one as well!
“Ben’s family has always had dogs, he has also worked on a dogsledding farm in Iceland,” Akiro Tea told Bored Panda. “I’ve never had a dog but I’ve started dog and catsitting last year and it’s a great thing to do if you like animals.”
The dog that these comics are dedicated to is Kioni, a Great Dane who is thought to be about 4 or 5 years old. “She is really loving and protective,” the artist added. “I really like how excited she gets whenever I come home. When you give her a hug she’ll place her paw on one shoulder and her head on the other and give you a squeeze, almost like she’s hugging back.”
If you scroll down, you’ll see how the temporary dog handlers were trying to keep the pooch away from the bed, how they went on walks, and other precious everyday moments. Enjoy!

Comic artist Akiro Tea and her boyfriend began petsitting a dog recently and their lives changed 180 degrees
Akiro decided to document the experience by doing what she does best, creating comics
“So this is my reality now, since we’ve been taking care of her”
“She isn’t ours, we’re petsitting her while her parents are busy having a newborn baby”
Such a goofball!
That's a great dane for you. Big, lovable goofballs. They're my favorite dog breed.
We had two danes, female was more 'proper' behaved than the male. The male on the other hand, what a clown. Loved people, especially kids. More people around the more goofball he got, he loved the attention. It was fascinating watching such a big dog (180lbs/81.6kg) play with small children, he had an unusual gentle nature even for a dane.
Sounds like you had a much better experience with Dane's then I did. The first two encounters, the dog literally knocked me over and then proceeded to trample over me...keep in mind I was very young and hurt easily. I know from more experience that these dogs are beautiful and wise, but I'm still a little shy around them. :/
He forgot the dog "push-out" - where they move an inch at a time when your asleep with their weight on you - and you move an inch away cos they're heavy - eventually after a few hours -- you fall out of the bed!!
and you shout "who is it??"" very loudly and convincingly - so they will both run to the front door while you get comfortable :)
Thank you for the hint to get my blankets back.
mine used to wait outside the shower to lick my legs "dry"
OH! I love this diane a! Cats do the same thing, on smaller scale of course. :)
My youngest dog does that and she is really tiny! My other dog is a terrier and lies across the bed and digs his paws in our backs as we lay either side. They have us right where they want us.
then you have to get up and get back in the empty side
This is my life.
