| Nice idea, NeumeIndil, and sweetly written. It would have been so easy to overplay this but you stuck to understatement. The change in perspective at the end threw me a little, but I love the idea of the big guy having a pet that would love him so. |

| Oh I'm a real sucker for animal stories. I loved this. I think Boromir would inspire this kind of loyalty. Poor thing! Very sad really. |

This was different - I like to think of it as Boromir's faithful hound, waiting for his master's return - ahhhhh.
Very good, I enjoyed reading it! |

Ooh! Not fair! It's bad enough Boromir's missed and mourned by the humans (and elf and dwarf) who loved him, at least they understood what had happened. But his poor puppy!
Very well done! A very unique take on an OC.  |

| If I hadn't read the other reviews I would never have guessed that you're writing about an animal! I envisioned a little girl! Beautifully done, looking forward to more. BB, Niamh |

This was so sweet and sad. You're right, there was no way for me to read it without shedding a tear.
Thank you for sharing.

| Very enjoyable. The loyalty of dogs and horses is very real and you've done a nice job of capturing it here. |

| I very much enjoy alternate POVS such as you have here and I really enjoyed these, they're esepcially well done, IMO, the reader is dropped smoothly into the character and never jostled away from them. I like the steadfast loyalty the emotional, simple questions. |
