“That your dog?” He laughed at the dirty hound licking crumbs and gravel off the sidewalk next to the outdoor café. She could see its ribs; dried blood stuck to a jagged scratch along its flank.
The only dog here is this date, she thought.
“Yes,” she said as she stood up. “Yes, it is.”
She grabbed his half-pound Buster Burger before walking away.
She hoped the dog would enjoy it, would let her take him home.

YES! I love this! Good for her. hee hee
Polly looks like she has a sweet soul. This is a beautiful picture.
Thanks! Yeah, Polly is a sweetheart. Good thing she can’t read, though. She’s never had a hamburger and she’d be pissed off to know what she’s missing when some fake dog is getting one.
HAHA! Poor Polly. Very cute short.
That is simply unfair! I’d be pissed too.
Hey, aren’t you supposed to be sending A a veggie burger or something?
ahh…yes, but at least I offered the 101 Cookbooks link. Maybe that will tide you over until I get that veggie burger to you.
I LOVE the 101 Cookbooks link! Definitely that was enough for me…
What a sweet face!! I love this, very cute flash.
Thanks! She is a doll. In this pic, she had just jumped in my son’s car (since the door was open) and was ready to head off to Boston. She’d go anywhere…
Yeah! Great flash – we are on an animal roll today. What a cutie!
Polly has such a sweet face.
I wondered for a moment if this was a true story, but when the burger came into play I assumed it was fiction.
Very clever Flash.
Definitely not true, but I’d like to think that if I did meet a loser like the guy in the story, I’d do exactly what she did.
