Pet Human is a graphic novel series set in a world where humans are companion animals — adopted, loved, and utterly bewildered by the alien civilization that keeps them. Two books. Two brothers. One extraordinary universe.
This isn't Earth with aliens bolted on. Pet Human is a fully realized alien civilization with its own ecology, architecture, language, and moral logic. The kind of world-building that rewards rereading.
Created by David Guy Levy, written with Steffen Schlachtenhaufen, and illustrated by Alex Heywood over eight years of obsessive detail work.
Alien cities, wild spaces, strange creatures, and an ecology that feels genuinely foreign — not just Earth with different colors.
Humans as companion animals. The premise flips the relationship completely — and takes the implications seriously.
Two brothers. One adopted, one left behind. Their journeys explore what belonging means when the world was never built for you.
Buster is a human adopted by aliens who love him completely but understand him barely at all. He navigates a world built for creatures nothing like him, learning the rules, making mistakes, and slowly earning his place.
It's the story of first contact told from the pet's point of view. Strange, funny, and quietly devastating.
