3.5This was a fun read. It's not easy to narrate a story from a pet's POV without making it sound rather ridiculous. This didn't sound ridiculous. Really, it was surprisingly well done.I liked the prompt and what Summer Devon did with it was great. There were some things that could have been explored a little bit more, but all in all this was a good, quick read and I really enjoyed it. In Grade 11 Creative Writing, every morning Mr. Andrew would put three or four words on the board which you could use as inspiration if you needed a starting point. One morning, whatever the words were, I wrote a heartbreaking sob-fest from the point of view of a dog who had been abandoned at the side of the road. My story had a tentative, possibly hopeful ending, where a car slows down to pick her up and her tail, almost poetically, begins slowly to wag... Ahem. This is not that story. This is better. It is told from the dog's point of view, though, so I feel a little proprietary towards it. In *this* story, an abandoned, pregnant dog rescues and is rescued by our MCs, and the three of them eventually form her "pack". It is very sweet, and I am an animal lover, and I could not judge it with any objectivity, I liked it a lot.
What do You think about The Tail Of A Dog (2013)?
Sometimes stories from animals POV work for me, this one didn't. Cute prompt picture though.
