Write a dog review with a wag in it

Find a cheerful dog’s point of view in walks, balls, and everyday interruptions.

Choose one irresistible detail

A dog narrator might care about the squeak, the smell, or the moment a leash appears. Choose one detail instead of explaining the whole day.

Make the human the confusing character

Your narrator can be perfectly certain that every tree deserves a long inspection. The human who wants to keep walking is the one behaving strangely.

End on a warm complaint

Try a small inconvenience followed by affection: “The ball keeps leaving. Luckily, I am very good at finding it.” The humor can be gentle without needing a dramatic punchline.

Your turn

Give your usual walk a review from a very busy news reader.
