Emily Patterson-Kane

Emily Patterson‑Kane is an animal psychologist who shares a cottage with four dogs, a cockatiel, some fish, and a small pack of Madagascar hissing cockroaches. In 2022, she began drawing one comic a day—funny, heartfelt glimpses into life with animals—that soon gathered a loyal following. Her zine Mostly Dogs continues that celebration of the messy, meaningful bonds that keep humans and dogs together. She’s also the lead author of Animal Welfare Science: An Interdisciplinary Guide (CRC Press, 2025).
