Moon Dogs

Author: @CarlHoliday
Theme: Full Moon

Bob has a fear of mean dogs from his childhood when he was attacked by a male Dobermann. Tonight he dreads having to walk home under a bright full moon down streets that have unrestrained pit bulls and other such dogs that have tried to attack him before. He has pepper spray and a book bag for defense, but sometimes he’s come close to being bit, again.

Reader Comments:

Headstall: Nice slice of life of a man and his family. There was a sweetness to it. Thanks, Carl. 

Carlos Hazday: That ending was worthy of Norman Rockwell and the amount of detail add to the impression of one of his illustrations. I enjoyed it.

Defiance19: An engaging and pleasant read. I enjoyed it. Thank you.
