What: Allie Brosh's two dogs, referred to as "Simple Dog" and "Helper Dog," are recurring characters in Hyperbole and a Half. The story/post/chapter "Dogs Don't Understand Basic Concepts Like Moving" details their struggles moving across state lines.
They don't handle it well, but their existential crises are our joy. This story/post/chapter is also a prime example of how Brosh's drawings in Paint somehow more accurately capture the essence of dogs than most photographs.
Representative quote: "When we started packing, the helper dog knew immediately that something was going on ... She started following me everywhere, pausing every so often to flop to the ground in an exaggeratedly morose fashion - because maybe that would make me realize how selfish I was being by continuing to pack despite her obvious emotional discomfort."
How to get it: This is from the book Hyperbole and a Half, but you can also read the whole thing on the original blog.
