A dog lies on scorching sidewalk, tongue lolling. Hair matted, flies festering. Droplets of saliva splatter the ground, disappearing on impact. Dry as a desert of dead bones. Feet approach, icy treat in hand. A whimper pleads. The feet walk mercilessly on.

That is so sad.
ReplyDeletePoor dog. I want to slip him some ice cubes and find him a shady patch of grass.
ReplyDeleteThe poor mutt :( So much heat!
ReplyDeleteNice storytelling.
ReplyDeleteI don't particularly care for dogs, but this made me sad.
