Aw, this is such a heartfelt story about your dog, Sandy, she was so persistence and I believe that you're right. She died from a broken heart. Right now, I have tears in my eyes my own dog cured up at my feet. Good luck. Ulla:)))

To me, this story is one of determination. The determination of both the dog and her owner. In the face of all opposition they manage to stay together until death. It must have been rather like a marriage. The writing quality is good. I have no real complaints, except that the presentation doesn't really stand out from the crowd. It is missing wow factor, somehow.

A dog's love for us is truly amazing. There are many stories just like yours. What a wonderfully written essay.

Good luck in the contest!
Have a great day, and God bless.

This work has reached the exceptional level

Oh my goodness, his is such a sad story and I have a tear in my eye after reading this Mary. A snippet of history and your memory of your dear dog who was loyal and always made it home until he just was tired of the travel. How very sad that he could not live out his days with the family he loved. Dogs do mourn and my heart broke here. My husband had a cat called Jake and he died two weeks after my husband of a broken heart. I enjoyed reading your story Mary, albeit very sad, love Dolly x

What a beautiful story. I wanted to come support, as you have done me in the past. I always love to read such as this; real life, real emotions, and a look back in time, time we cannot have back. As you described, though I have not been there, I imagined , even the sound, weather and the time and era, so good is yor narrative.
Well done, I could have read another page.
I wish we had more sixes.
Have a beautiful day.
Best wishes.

This is the third pet story in a row that I have read and cried about. What are you people doing to me? Sigh very good story that kept my interest from beginning to end. I did not notice any typos, and I enjoyed it, despite my need to go get another box of tissue. Thank you for sharing. I'm going to go pet my 14 year old lab/basset hound mix now. Hugs.

A well told story. Dogs are loyal and loving. They attach themselves to people and do not ever forget them. We have a golden and when we have company that he has not seen in awhile. He will cry and nip at their hands. As he he is getting old- he will stay close to that particular company.
Dogs need their families. Families need their dogs.

A lovely and heart warming story. I, also enjoyed the history included in the story.

I grew up in Ma not far from the Boston area. In fact, they flooded three or four towns to create the quabbin reservoir to provide water for Boston. Tully dam was a short ride for us connecting to route 2A.

My dad was a history teacher and took us into Boston many times.

Enjoyed.

Your story is very well written. Amazing how the dog found its way back through the city. I am sorry you lost your mother at such a young age. Thanks for sharing this story
