Beasts of Burden (Comic Book)	comment	A supernatural horror/adventure comic series from Dark Horse Comics. It follows the residents of Burden Hill, a picturesque small town that seems to attract plenty of paranormal activity. Luckily there is a society whose sole duty is to defend against these various evil forces, with the only catch being that this society is made up of dogs (and one cat).Originally starting as a series of short comics that were released in anthologies and later online, it expanded into a series of limited runs and one-shots, and is collected in omnibuses. It was created by Evan Dorkin and Jill Thompson and is written by Dorkin (with his wife, Sarah Dyer, occasionally co-writing) with art by Thompson (and later Benjamin Dewey). The pacing, art, and script are all top-notch, and it soon became a popular (if low-profile) new property.In 2013, it was announced that Shane Acker would be doing a CGI-animated film based on the property, but in 2021 Dorkin clarified that the project never moved beyond pre-production due to conflicts over the script. Whether anything else will come of it has yet to be seen.

However, it's not out of kindness but Pragmatic Villainy (since she's a witch), and they force her to help them achieve world conquest. Emrys claims that he had to tear out his own eye to stop the spread of a basilisk's petrifying gaze. But that was apparently just a scary story to keep the puppies listening to him from getting into danger; he points out to Pugsley afterward that there's nothing wrong with his eyes — not that anyone could tell, since they're covered by fur. Averted in Occupied Territory where the bitten limb is not taken off, instead the dogs attempt to make the curse bringer take it back to save the victim. It works and he is saved.

Once they're inducted into the Wise Dogs Society, they begin learning how to cast spells, though as of yet none of them have much aptitude for it. Ace also winds up getting some of the werewolf's abilities after it bites him, namely a Healing Factor and the propensity to enter Unstoppable Rage when he's angry enough.

The Orphan is actually insightful and typically quite willing to help, even if he might groan about it. Dymphna is much the same after her Heelâ€“Face Turn, still giving out snark but becoming more & more altruistic as she works with the heroes.

While dogs & cats (and, when they figure into the plot, other animals) interact with each other they often trade snark and jabs, but it rarely gets any more vitriolic than that. The dogs in the main cast make it clear they value the Orphan as a friend just as they would if he were a dog, and he likewise cares a lot for his canine companions even if he doesn't outright say it. The only real instance of jingoism shown thus far is in "Occupied Territory", when a cat refuses to help Emrys during his investigation because she refuses to talk to dogs.
