This moving, charming graphic novel about a dog and a robot shows us in poignant detail how powerful and fragile relationships are. After a Labor Day jaunt to the beach leaves the robot rusted, immobilized in the sand, the dog must return alone to the life they shared. But the memory of their friendship lingers, and as the seasons pass, the dog tries to fill the emotional void left by the loss of his closest friend, making and losing a series of friends, from a melting snowman to epicurean anteaters. But for the robot, lying rusting on the beach, the only relief from loneliness is in dreams.

对比影版两人的羁绊差了点,影版小狗在禁止进入沙滩后,有强行闯入行为。而且影版的音乐真加大分,对比漫画相形见绌,导致整体相当平,波澜无惊的,观感一般
动画版的情节细化以及表现力要好不少。
画的挺平的童话故事,跟电影版已然不是一个作品了。
看起来电影比起原漫画是增加了非常多细节的,尤其是鸭子姐的情节和结尾共舞,为一个最初面向孩子的作品赋予了成人更容易察觉的复杂情感,让机器人的定位模糊地处于宠物、朋友和伴侣之间,拓展了解读的可能性。原作里机器人和动物明显对应了现实里的宠物和人类,一方面作者在书结尾采访中明示友情中“身边的人会来来去去,而一切都在向前发展”,另一方面也暗中教会小朋友对宠物负责。甚至书末还有一些给小朋友的提问(不知道是不是中文版加的),引导他们思考这些问题。
