Bobo: The Travelling Hound is a collaborative art & storytelling book by Irma Lengkong Mikkonen and renowned contemporary artist HANAFI that describes the loving relationship between Irma and her basset hound. Since Bobo was small, he has accompanied Irma to fulfil her passion for traveling, particularly to the dog-friendly cities of Western Europe. Not only did these adventures lead to the realisation that a pet can become a good travel companion, but also served as a reminder of how they have always been an integral part of European society from nearly it's very beginnings. It was also a journey of discovery while walking through Amsterdam, Paris and Brussels, to find how someone like Bobo can bring out the basic humanities we tend to forget from time to time. For Hanafi, earning the trust to enter a personal relationship with a dog was not something easy. To him, Bobo seemed just like all other Bobos along the boulevards of the real world. But once he saw and felt the strong heartwarming bond between Bobo and Irma Lengkong Mikkonen, it inevitably encouraged him to translate that kind of bond and pour it onto the canvas. By capturing and evoking this bond the author and the artist hope is that this series of images will help enrich and strengthen and perhaps even heal and renew any relationship.
