I love animals! They are my brethen (and sisters). So, I decided to write a piece in the world in which I would like to live. I know, it's a bit la-la, and it comes from the deep reaches of my mind (run for your life). It's kept me going through hard times, but hopefully that doesn't show much. For my story, the characters of Sam (Thank You!!!), Susan, the un-named father, and some of her friends are close to the real thing. But I reserve the right to dramatize them slightly. And trust me, they're only slightlyaltered. Not really dramatized.
