Comments on: On Dogs http://www.posatigres.com/2009/12/14/on-dogs/ Creative Nonfiction by Sarah Menkedick Tue, 28 Dec 2010 22:47:31 -0500 hourly 1 By: Marie http://www.posatigres.com/2009/12/14/on-dogs/comment-page-1/#comment-351 Marie Thu, 24 Dec 2009 04:26:40 +0000 http://www.posatigres.com/?p=579#comment-351 In truth I couldn't comment on this piece when I first read it as I felt a bit teary. I had my husband read it and he felt the same. But then, you know how badly we want a dog! Such a beautiful story due mostly to the way you've written it, Sarah. It is truly amazing how animals have the power to connect with people. And to connect people to each other. I love hearing about dogs being used in prisons and as home visitors for the elderly or ill. Fuzzy therapy? I hope you, your husband and the wee perritos (although Stella's not that wee, really, is she!) have the best Christmas and New Year and I can't wait to read what you write next!
