Dog Days (ê° Gae) is a 2021 graphic novel by Keum Suk Gendry-Kim.
It was translated into English by Janet Hong, with that version published in 2024 by Drawn and Quarterly.
It is about a couple who buy a dog, move to the countryside, and then obtain more dogs. The woman in the relationship narrates the story. Terry Hong of Booklist described the woman as "Gendry-KimâÂÂs stand-in".
The ending shows that a household that had mistreated a dog had obtained a new dog; Publishers Weekly stated that the ending therefore has "a wistful tone."
Gendry-Kim wanted to focus attention on mistreatment of dogs, especially in rural areas.
Hong gave the book a starred review.
Tom Batten of Library Journal described the work as "deeply moving".
