Thanks Liz! I loved Rascal’s ability to overcome. Dogs just love us. They can go through hell but they still will love their people. I’ve always been amazed by that.
Fantastic story Jack. Absolutely loved it. When you described Rascal knowing that Clint was almost home but hadn't turned down the lane yet, it was a scene that I've witnessed myself many times. There is no visual or sound or smell involved. They just know and there is no real explanation to some of the amazing attributes they have. Whether it's pure intuition like that, or a smell, a familiar sound, a tone of your voice or even simply an expression on your face. They just know. The bond is natural and ancient and beautiful. Great story, once again. - Jim
Thanks Jim. I loved writing the relationship between Clint and Rascal and how it bloomed from care to love and ultimately to partnership. Thanks again for you kind words. I’m really glad you enjoyed it.
Wow! Thank you! I definitely feel that way about you so I’m so glad you are enjoying what I write. Your writing is so sharp: witty but also meaningful. You always make a broader point even if it comes with a laugh. I love this medium. For me, developing a longer story with characters I can present in more depth is definitely fun. However, short stories give me a chance to write something interesting and force me to be sharp and efficient with character development and plot. I do love this little story. Watching Rascal triumph was particularly fun to write. Thanks for reading it!
I think we need a collection of Rascal's adventures! (But he's never allowed to die, okay?)
And thanks for your nice words about my writing! Substack is a fantastic space to share work and find like-minded people. Something about this arena is fab for pushing writers to take more risks and be open to others.
Loved this story! There’s nothing like the loyalty and love of a good dog.

Omg Rascal is such a good dog! Please write more about him. I loved this story. You are becoming one of my favourite writers on here.
