A lovely story with a fine ending. Working together is always the answer and it promotes, friendship, trust and security. I enjoyed this story and the moral at the end. Well done, and best wishes for the contest.

Pets can do justice when it comes to saving a life. Your poem does have a moral behind it and I like the idea of pets helping another pet in this telltale story.

Good use of alliteration the hard c's & K's create a snarling mood. This has a very good lesson to it as this is written for children and children are in the space to learn lessons and I think they especially learn them from animals. That has always been the goal in my Be Wee with Bea series that children and adults may learn lessons.

    I was a teacher, so I know this would be excellent for that age level. Maybe submit it to a children's magazine. I just looked them up. There are several.

These three animals are diverse to say the least, but when a need is uncovered and there's good people, but in this case three good natured furry people, and what a wonderful proverb, a friend in need, is a friend indeed, well done, blessings Roy

This is a very nice story. Well-written and I love the names you chose for the pets and the overall story line. I'm glad the squirrel and cat decided to help Caruso in the end.
