Boy Meets Dog - Short Wholesome Fiction
Boy Meets Dog
By T. Dalton
His mom brought the dog home from the shelter. It was missing an ear. A mutt, somewhere between a beagle and a terrier. It pissed itself five minutes of entering the house. “Jesus,” Tony said. “Mom, why’d you bring home a retard?”
“Don’t call it that,” his mom said. “It came from a farm where they abused dogs. I told you I was getting you a present."

This post is an entry in the twenty-four hour fiction contest, hosted here. The idea is to write a story in 24 hours. The prompt is: A little kid learns their dog can speak.
This story is probably the only thing close to wholesome I've written. I guess they should have gone back and murdered the bully, or the dog becomes an alien and consume's Tony's enemies. But I decided to leave it there. Anyway, thanks for reading.
This was a good ending. Glad you stopped.
thanks again for the contest. I love dogs, have two myself, and work with children. So this story came kind of naturally.
Ate you a teacher? What do you do with kids?
Currently, I teach English in Korea
Touchy story, we always express our insecurities on others. Feelings for dog were only inner feelings that boy felt for himself. Powerful. Namaste.
happy you understood what I was going for. Thanks for reading
Thank you for creating.
A little holsome now and then is not that bad ;) looks like my voting power just circled the drain again I will revote later ...sigh ...
