Over time, Jenny has expanded the series to include many different animal stories—rabbits, birds, elephants, you name it! Now, she is back with another poignant story about a canine who is left outside to freeze.

Zeus is a loving dog who spends his days in the cold, tied to his kennel. Despite the way he is treated, Zeus still loves his family.
Jenny prides herself on extensively researching her themes, and this one is no exception. It is a sad fact that countless animals are left outside to die in freezing conditions.

"I wanted to take up this topic for so long," Jenny said.

"It annoys me that there are still people who believe their dog can handle everything, as if they’re keeping a wild wolf in their garden."
"But our dogs are tamed; they have adapted to our circumstances. Most breeds of dogs do not tolerate the cold (Northern breeds excepted)."
"Finally, I’ve developed an idea for a story that I can build around the problem," she said. Jenny notes that there is definitely a common theme throughout all of her comics.
"I’ve had the feeling for the last year that I’ve moved away from the ‘roots of my comics.’ That’s not necessarily bad, but sometimes I felt that I had forgotten why I started Loving Reaper at all," she explained.
"I’ve lost some of my motivation and inspiration. I tried to regain it with this comic."
Jenny has announced that she will be publishing a hardcover book later this year featuring most of her stories. So, be sure to keep your eyes peeled for an official release date!
