WOW!!!!! Wendy I loved this. The ending really caught me off guard. I had a feeling that it was an angel of some kind, or Jesus or something, but not a dog.
This was well-written, so much that I was at the edge of my seat waiting to get to the end. I am so glad that baby girl was safe.
Thank you for sharing.

Comment from Goodadvicechan
I like the picture. It does look people can get lost.
This is a story well written. The emotion and the worry of the mother is well described.
This is an excellent supernatural story.
Thanks for sharing such a nice story.

This is very good, Wendy, I can see why you won. :) I wish I had the flow with words as you have. Yes, God works in mysterious ways and it is all about love. Your golden retriever loved you and he was sent to protect your loved one. Beautiful.

Comment from LJbutterfly
First of all, congratulations on winning the Supernatural Fiction contest. I love the way you set this story up to appear that it might be a tale of woe with a little girl in danger. Then, you added mystery...Gary. The ending left me satisfied with a loving golden retriever saving the little girl. Great story.

Comment from AliMom
What an excellent story. We rarely think of angelic help coming in the form of animals. Thank you for sharing it with us. It has just the right amount of tension. Your opening is exciting and compelling. Your ending warms the heart. Congratulations on your first-place win.

Comment from Rena Smith
Wow, this was a beautiful story. I enjoyed reading this and I couldn't wait to see who Gary was in the end. I enjoyed reading this story too because I love suspense stories and movies.
It was a good story and I don't know of anything that should have been written differently.
I love how the writer used suspense by including a mystery character Gary (a dog) to keep the reader interested to the very end.

Comment from Katherine M. (k-11)
A wonderful story. Of corse I imagined the worst at all the places I was supposed to (as well as just death alone in the wild), even though there was not a single vulgar word, sexual term or profanity, the horrors forced their way in. Only to be pushed out by something kinder, but more difficult to understand. Well done.

Thank you so very much for your lovely review, and yes, this would be a horrific situation, but God is able to use whatever He wishes to bring about a miracle. Fortunately this one is fiction. I appreciate your time and words.

Comment from Tom Horonzy
You brought me to tears. Was that your objective? Congrats.
It's okay I cry easily. I thought you were heading to intro an angel, which I guess a dead dog can become.
One word felt out of line. "I was too exhausted and anxious even to weep." I see no need for the word even.
In addition, can you explain the "promote button?"
I was shown a counter with 18 "pumps/ $2.95. I clicked once. The total reduces by one, but my bank account also had a deduction. If we have x #'s of pumps, why are we charged, and how do they benefit our viewings?

Thank you so much Tom for your wonderful review, and also for the honour of six stars, which I value greatly as well as your encouragement. I am so glad you enjoyed it, or were moved to tears by it. Thank you for the suggestion, and you are right, so I have removed the unnecessary word.
In answer to the Promote button. If you had eighteen pumps to use, it should just have gone down to seventeen and no charge if you used one. The pumps give a money value to one's work for reviewing purposes, which means that people who are paid well eg 82 cents for their comments will more likely review than if they only get 32 cents. The higher the number of reviews you get the higher becomes your ranking (seen under "Status" under the "MY" button. Some people promote their work to an extraordinary degree to get lots of reviews, so they will get a good ranking - but their work my be only mediocre. It's a bit manipulative really, so the rankings don't always reflect the best writers (in my opinion). Hope this helps.
But in terms of what happened to you, contact Tom who manages the site, under the COMMUNITY button and then at the bottom "Contact us". He may be able to explain what happened and why, and maybe adjust your payment for you. Best wishes , Tom, and thank you again.

No adjustment needed. Perhaps I did it wrong for I believe a pump is to be used before posting not after for the one I used did not go to the one I just had entered so I think I stuck it on a previous one. I'll try it again, if and when I see the "pump" button again. I don't always notice it. Thank you.

Ah yes, that could be it. You might have inadvertently promoted another piece of writing of yours. It does take a bit of getting used to.

Comment from Rosemary Everson1
What a beautiful fantasy story. It is fun to write supernatural stories like this story...I kept thinking who this man was and it turns out it was your precious dog from years ago.

Comment from Mrs. KT
Hello Wendy!
Read your exceptionally well-crafted story the other day, but I wanted to wait to review when I had six stars to give it and you!
How I loved this story and the thought of "Gary" protecting your Shara.
Who is to say this could not happen in real life? Not I!
Thank you for sharing!
