Some years back while hiking through the hinterland behind the Gold Coast, my wife and I came across a very sad sight.
A chain was tied around a tree. On the end was a small dog’s collar. The only trace of the poor animal was a patch of white fur plastered to the hard, dry ground with time.
The sight made us both very angry. What kind of person could do such a thing?
A few days ago I was listening to a podcast and was inspired to write a short story. I present the first half here for your enjoyment… (critiques/suggestions welcomed)

Would read better with some space between paragraphs. The indentation at the start of paragraphs could go or stay.Wolf wrote: Fri Mar 09, 2018 10:23 am Some years back while hiking through the hinterland behind the Gold Coast, my wife and I came across a very sad sight.

Re: Boo Boo and The Dogman
Thanks Greg.
It needs a couple more passes for editing so I'll try that.
''Twas considering adding some illustrations to make it read a bit like a graphic novel, but getting the time to draw them up is tough.
