"Buddy" is an introduction of two people in a clever. The exchange of names behind their masks was special. The ending was surprising, yet sentimental showing an obvious age difference in the new friends. Well done.

Awww, such a sweet story, I was wanting it to be non-fiction. Actually, they say dog parks are the best place to meet the opposite sex (or same, whatever you're seeking ; ) I suppose a love of dogs is a good start. Personally, I'm a cat woman, so it wouldn't work for me.

Seems Harry was sent not only as an angel of mercy, but to become a very important friend. Strange how chance meetings can make changes in our lives forever. Glad it turned out good! Smiles!~

Thanks for joining the contest and I wish you luck!

What a lovely story. The safe rescue of the dog, followed by an unexpected and heart-warming friendship, rescuing each other from probable loneliness. Good wishes for the contest.

Your story is a well-told transition from an unexpected rescue of the dog's trapped foot, to an unexpected friendship developing.
The only blip I felt was in the first paragraph - where you said "It was quiet at 9 a.m on the forest path", but at the same time Brandy was giving out "blood- curdling yelps".

Fine work for a flash! A stunning beginning to this gripping story with a heartwarming resolution. Sugg: separate the speakers into paragraphs with blank lines between.

It's amazing how many relationships have been helped along by dogs. They probably have a great track record as matchmakers - LOL
Very heartwarming story.

Just so you know, the purpose of this review is to be helpful. I will point out any SPAG errors I see and rate according to site guidelines. SPAG means Spelling, Punctuation And Grammar. I may also comment on formatting issues. I will not give a five or six-star review unless I believe the work warrants it.




'Brandy's my buddy for morning walks,' Dorothy blurted out.
'Same here,' the man replied, 'name's Harry.'
'Dorothy, some people insist on Dot, but I'm not one for abbreviations.' THIS SECTION SHOULD HAVE A BLANK LINE BETWEEN SPEAKERS WHEN THE SPEAKER CHANGES.

What an excellent story for this prompt. I love the whole idea and you presented it perfectly... and I am guessing there is a touch of romance in those morning walks. Well done and good luck, my friend.
