What a sad story you've given us with your little faithful to the end... Jojo. I can see the action very clearly and I can imagine his grief. Very unusual take on the prompt. I wish you well in this contest.

You laid out this writers prompt with a TKO! Excellent representation of JoJo from first sentence to last. Not a rapscallion out to perform high jinx, but a desperate dog on a mission we sadly learn is too late...hard to invest the reader in 150 words or less, but you've done it! This story will haunt me for the rest of the day!

I think this is a good entry for the Introduce Your Main Character writing prompt.
Well written and well told. Jojo's character is clear.
Well done and good luck to you with this one in the competition.

Enjoyed reading your opening. It made me want to read on. Making an animal your main character is creative. As a matter of fact, it makes your entry stand out.
Good luck in the contest.

Poor dog, I really wish he ends up well somehow in the end. The character was well thought out and introduced in this passage. Thank you for your post and wish you all the best. -ServantOfGod

A lovely photo of a mongrel dog, that complements your short story introducing two main characters. JoJo stole a bit of bread and ran off. He had not eaten for three days-poor dog. Then he finds Hobo Bill. He hugged against his bosses corpse. I think Jojo is the protagonist ad his boss the antagonist. Sorry, not sure a bout this. No changes needed. Good write Best wishes for the contest.

We get a good look at Jojo and see that he is off on a new journey without the benefit of a master.
Many adventures wait.
Great introduction!

hello, I enjoyed reading this. firstly, I love the words used throughout, the way you have described the dog taking the warm loaf of bread scurrying out of the door. I can just tell even before reading on that the dog was desperate for food. I like how you described the guy in the bakery, as a codger. I found myself feeling sad for both Jojo and hobo bill, and i can just tell how much jojo adored hobo , a heartwarming but sad start to a story . as i read the ending i am interested to know what Jojo's fate will be.. good start to the story, however, i would say bring in a little information about hobo, perhaps the type of dog he is or maybe the old mans face could be detailed, was he angry at the dog taking a loaf of bread or maybe he just felt sorry for Jojo . overall tho , i really like this
