Great story.

I liked how he went from being alone to having someone. A good turn around.

I say I loved this little story..

i truly enjoyed reading it.

wish i could see some more works you did * fave*

this is a beautifull story :3

Wow! This is great stuff!

A story about sa boy transforming into an anthro becasue he loved his dead dog..and then an anthro collage that appeared seemingly out of no where...either these people were really isolated or something was left out..also..a dog dating a cow..that wont last :o heheh not bad for a first..

Well, the transformation was a blessing for caring, but also to remove the guilt.

As for the college, it wasn't just the college that had "anthros". I hinted that, although the boy was the first to transform, many, many others followed. The world adjusted to the presence of anthros after awhile.

As for the dog dating the cow...why not? There have been examples in real life where two very different humans can fall in love, and there are even stories of animals caring for one another (usually as a parent-type figure, but exceptions may exist).

Thanks for the comment!

About the dog dating the cow:
Have you ever heard the idiom "got his goat"? This phrase comes from horse racing. Horses are very social animals, and when they travel to a distant race track, they miss their herdmates and this lonelyness can impair their performance. Transporting another herd member horse is expensive, but there is a simple solution. A few goats live with the horses and are accepted by the horses as members of their herd. When a race horse goes to a distant race track, a herd member accompanies them to keep them company and to reduce herd seperation anexiety - one of the goats. Kidnapping a competitors goat - getting their goat - has been used many times to impair the performance of a rival's race horse.

When I was a child growing up on a farm, one of our friends was a diary farmer. The boss cow of his herd and his collie were very good friends and spent a lot of time with each other. The boss cow and the collie were co-dominant over the rest of the herd, and considered each other to be social equals and superior to all the other cows.

From the comments, it sounds like you wrote a good story. Unfortunately I can't read it because I have a Mac which does not come with software that can read .doc type files.

Could you please open this file in Word, then do a "save as" to save it as a .txt type file and then post it to your gallery? Then I could read it.

There is an additional advantage to doing this: viewers will be able to read the story with their browser - just like this comment - without having to download anything. I'll be watching you in hopes that you do this.

That's... Very interesting. It's short, and it's basic, but it's also very good. It's so basic, it reminds me of something like Shadow of the Colossus: The story is simple, and it really doesn't give any details, but at the same time it leaves so much to the reader, and at the same time, it makes it feel like it's some kind of old style of thing. Like a fairytale, it skips many of the indepth details but only gives a brief overlay of the main points of the story. Yet, in doing so, it feels... Innocent, somehow.

This really is a great piece, although I think it would be even more appropriate if it had a bit of a moral to it. Something to really finish off and wrap up that fairytale, retro-esque effect. Of course, that's just me. Either way, this is a damn interesting piece. Good job.

Aww...That was a sweet story. :)

That was great, I love your style, its so simple-esk and so fun to read, better than most novels you can find in a bookstore.

That was also very creative, again awesome!

Great story, I definetly loved it. Your story is just so good, I actually felt emotional the entire time. I like many kinds of stories, and yours fits into one of those categories.

Hey, good stuff! Short but sweet. ^_^ Ah, if only...

it's a nice story.

it feel more like an outline than a complete story, specially with the jump in time from when he's in the hospital to the colege

Interesting. Kinda reminds me of Wolf.

well very good story but it cut of a little bit short other than that i kinda envy him but then again i envy everyone that has a tail

Great story. As for the length, it seems rather appropriate. I gather that it's the emotions and meaning that is focused on rather than length and depth. It's quaintly inspiring. I like it ^_^

Excellent story! I had a day dream like that once O.o

Very good. I was wondering how you were going to actually develop a meaning in such a short story, but i must say excellent job. The meaning is clear and very touching. That would be an interesting subject to expand into a full story.

Your story really touched my heart. I'm disabled, have emotional problems and cruel neighbors. We had a dog I loved, but the neighbors would always shout obscenities at me when I went in the yard. Finally our dog died, and in my grief I realized how wrong I had been to let hateful people get in the way of my Loving my dog. That was my dog Miki's gift to me when she left this world. She gave me her courage.

In your story the transformation is physical, and I think symbolic. I'd love to see you develop the idea further, if you feel inspired to.

Really great story:)

Johji

Very very sweet and nicely written story

Also seems what hapen to him also later happen to others, probaly arounf the world (wish that would happen in real life)

You might want to polish this story some more as the way its put together at current does not read very well.

What a dork dude there's no way. This story reads like Raymond Chandler married a sexy dog and then gave birth to the baby like crazy.

(who then wrote this story of course)

Wow I really like the metaphoric visualizations. Kinda reminds me of myself. well except it is was my half cat girlfriend

I like it.. it has a pleasant ending.. :D

I can't read it Y_Y it's not in a file type I have!
(Stupid new computer! and missing programs!!!)


could you possibly try note pad?

Hmm... it definitely reads like a rough sketch, as is to say this is something that belongs in your notebook of ideas. Brainstorming is always fun. Anyway, as a story it reads like various ideas you mashed together in the manner of a few minutes and then wrote whatever came to mind. This is good. Now go back and flush out all of the original details and you never know... it could wind up as a decently written, lest publishable story.

Well, to be honest, this was purposefully written to be this way for a reason.

When I wrote this, I was trying to make it sound like a sort of biography from later in life. I know it wouldn't happen, but I felt compelled at the time to not put little details in because I wanted any details like that to be how I would exactly react should something like that occur.

I didn't know what I would exactly say in the situation, so I left out those little details for that reason

Nowadays, when I write a piece that is a "biography," I try to put what I think I would say, even if I may not say it should something like that occur.

Does that make sense?

A glorious tale! ^^
