Plot/story elements:

Did I feel attached to the story or poem?

It's heart wrenching to read about children who lose one of their parents and their mourning process but when an animal is introduced, it somehow makes us feel better. I love it when animals are written as characters that help soothe our pain.


Would I recommend this piece of writing to someone else?

Pet lovers can appreciate these types of poems. They make us feel better when our lives get turned upside down. And no matter what, with dogs in particular, they unconditionally love their owners if they are treated with compassion and respect.


Was there a clear purpose to it?

It's a tale of pet love and their ability to soothe our soul. I loved it and gave me warm fuzzies.


Glows:

I love the story and visuals. The rhyming scheme is good and flowed easily. I didn't have to reread any lines for clarifications or misunderstandings.



Grows:

I'd like to know which foreign war it was or a time frame. I think you may have had one in mind, but there's been a few and I'd like to be able to place this poem in its appropriate spot in time. It's like another Norman Rockwell painting where I see dim lamp on the street corner next to a cottage or house.
