Cynthia
Had I been quicker to read and comment I would have said what Robert Mann said! A beautifully observed moment.

Yes an ending that doesn't end. Incredibly clever writing CBT with all the candour and detail one would expect from you. Well done.

Cynthia this is definitely up to usual standard of a finely told tale in an almost casual narrative fashion. Nicely done

This glows with the warmth of a precious jewel I bet he wished he'd said "Yes, please".

Beautiful and you made me laugh out loud. Your funny little line to the gentleman sounded so much like something I would have said. I am still smiling over it. Such a brilliant and complete story in your retelling of a brief encounter.

I'm glad I stopped to read this poem, Cynthia. Beautifully observed.

Hi Cynthia. I love the idea of writing about brief encounters. Short snapshots of everyday life. Man and Dogs is beautifully crafted, and I love the humour in there too.

I only joined the site today, and I'm looking forward to reading more of your work

A nicely related tale with all the trimmings Cynthia. It can't be overstated how bonded people can be with their pets. Quite sad and I like your empathy. A real goodie.

Cynthia - you have managed to combine acute observation, humour, poignancy and pathos into this lovely piece of work. I love the detail and the commentary. As a regular dog-walker I can also empathise with the characters. Bloody brilliant.
