Great entry for the Very short story writing prompt contest. You captured my attention right away and held it all the way through.

Good luck in the contest.

Comment from tempeste
Ciao mystery poet , yuo now have 6 votes!
I never understood why some people leave their dogs out in the backyard during a storm or on New Year's Eve.
Most dogs are scarred of thunder, lightening and fireworks. and sadly they will run off frightened ..some end up hit by a car.
Glad your tyke found his way to your doorstep safe.
Ciao!

Comment from Marienkiefer
Hello,
-A very heartwarming story
-Respect of guidelines.
- Great use of punctuation that effectively replaces unnecessary words.
-Concise writing and prolonged meaning.
-Great vocabulary to describe confusion, movement and ensuing panic of the dog: zig-zag, eyes, squeal of brakes.
Very well done. Good luck on your entry.

Comment from Rosemary Everson1
So sad to think the dog in the story got hit by a car. But the good thing is that the dog survived. I have had a dog get hit by a car and it is very sad. But after some attention he lived, too.

Comment from lyenochka
That's cute! Now that's a smart dog and he can read! Great job in telling a whole story just with 280 characters! Ending with 'Safe' gives the story a peaceful ending. Best wishes in the contest!

Thank you so much Helen! I appreciate your super review. (Quite a challenge, as characters includes all spaces and punctuation - not many words.)
Comment from Versch
This is an excellent short story of a lost dog that found refuge in a human home. We all love dogs, and I think I would have adopted this cute little dog in distress. Lucky for him. Good luck in the contest.

Which website did you use? According to the one I used to check characters - www.charactercountonline.com - your story comes to 275.
It's a great story, action-packed with upsetting drama, that ends well with your warm welcome for the distressed dog.

Oh thank you for reviewing and and taking the time for checking. I used lettercounter.com, but just now tried charactercounteronline.com, and it also said 280. So I don't quite understand that. Hope it will be alright. Never mind. I appreciate your time and your thoughtful review.
Comment from Pam Lonsdale
You did a great job of telling a whole story with the few characters you were limited to. And the picture of the poor, soaked pup helps tell the story.
He was "welcome" indeed!
