I'm a bit behind so catching up.
This chapter left me biting my nails. Poor Molly and all her human and canine family and friends.
Emma has plenty of support, but it's still hard to see a loved one hurt. Worrying about Molly on top of all the other things that have happened. The poor girl needs a break.

This is well done and proves that Emma has a whole flock of men who are her heroes. Unfortunately, at least one man is her enemy. I saw only one little problem . . . as the Doctor's word(s) rang . . .

Sometimes it takes a crisis to get people to see a relationship situation more clearly and it seems like the way Seth has handled this intruder problem and Molly's clinging for life to help Emma see that Seth is more than a friend. Everyone keeps telling her. Lol.
Great job and glad to see a prayer in the book.

Poor dog!! You have written this chapter very well and I can sense the feelings felt by your characters. Your faith in God also shines through in this story.

Another lovely chapter. Poor little Molly. I wonder what kind of wild dog bit her. Emma has had her share of misfortune lately. It's good to know Seth is helping her. I'm happy she has a good support system.

Wonderful addition to your book.

No need for correction. I think what you've written here now definitely conveys her thoughts and her worries for paying her bills worry for the dog. The money she doesn't have. She comes through very clear.
I had no issue to tell following along in this story. I found it engaging interesting and had a cool storyline. I've seen parts of this before too and have followed long quite happily.
I see no issues grammatically or esthetically. I find you are layout to be quite good. You're a sentence structure punctuation subject matters all quite good. It's a good submission and I wish you best of luck!

When I saw the image, I was wondering what the chapter was going to be about. That is a mean looking creature. You did a great job with the chapter, as well as building the suspense regarding who is after Emma. It is a shame the screen was cut and Molly got out, but it could have been much worse.

Emma is a combination of being strong, yet still vulnerable. She didn't shy away when Molly had to go to the vet or when she needed someone to lean on. She has a strong faith, but has a ways to go when it comes to what she earns and how she is going to continue to manage living on her own with her financial situation.

I like the ending with the conversations with Jake and then Emma's father. I added a tender moment to the story. Well done!

If Seth saw the coyote attack the dog, clear enough to shoot at the animal, why is he calling for the crime scene unit? (This answered later in the chapter.)

"Seth and I've known each over seven years" should probably be each other seven years.

Seems romance budding in the air.

Good thing Seth is taking precautionary measures.

Hello Barbara,
the first half of your story held more interest for me than the latter part in all honesty. I found myself getting anxious as the dogs were involved with the coyote, and then worried about Molly. It made me wonder- dogs don't have blood transfusions do they? I guess an IV with saline would have to be sufficient. In any event, I enjoyed your story. The story line is believable and the dialogue is good. Thanks for sharing gal.
Have a blessed evening.
Tom

    Yes, dogs can have blood transfusions, but Molly had antibiotics and saline. Thank you for the kind review.

Yes, I know what it's like to have daughters, and think sometimes there's no one good enough for them, but God has a way of caring for our children more than we do, and can watch over them 24/7, we have a Moodle dog, who bosses his large Rottweiler 'niece' around, she adores him, she weighs 45kg, and he's a little over 5kg. Beautifully wrutten Barbara, blessings Roy
