After reading this I'm inclined to believe it myself! One never knows what surprises lay in store.. and your story exemplifies that fact..it's amazing what can happen from acts of kindness as well.. glad I stopped to read, good luck wishes to you!

Comment from EMB
At first, this reminded me of two things: "101 Dalmations" and "Feast," the recent Oscar winner short piece. You can never go wrong when you tell a story of love and involve a canine. Nice work. :)

I think this is a lovely fable with an even more lovely moral. Every time we have the chance to change someone's tears to joy, we should. Best of luck in the contest.

Comment from Zinnia48
I really enjoyed this. It was clever and quite original. It clearly tells how transformative both the power of words (especially in poetry), and another person's kindness can empower our sense of self. Thanks, and good luck! Caroline

typo in your title AN instead of AND
in the mirror, for she felt - add comma
dog loose, and he ran - add comma
good character descriptions
love and gratitude, and soon she began - add comma
this is beautifully thoughtful :-) Brooke
