Sounds like a wonderful meeting and segue into friendship. How good it has turned out for both of them during this pandemic. To meet up with someone new seems to me, would be very rare. Bless you.

This was an unexpected rescue, and life-altering in that Dot found a new friend and walking companion. I would suggest using left justification for easier reading, as well as adding missing line breaks between paragraphs. The easier to read, the better comprehension. Is there a reason you use single quotation marks? Dot was indeed lucky.

This is so sweet. I love how the traumatic rescue slowly eases into the developing friendship. The word limit makes those kinds of transitions difficult, but you managed it well.

Hello Zanya.

This is a well-told story about relationships. There are relationships between walkers and their dogs and not there is a relationship between people that need relationships.

Good luck in the contest.

Robert

Hi zanya,
In this day and age of Covid, we are forced to be more wary. You can't tell if a stranger is okay or not. Too much of their face is hidden. I think the story revolved around that theme, to trust or not to trust. In this case, Harry and Dot became friends. '
An excellent entry for the Unexpected Rescue writing prompt. I wish you Good Luck!
Cheers,
Kimbob

What a sweet story (except for the paw that got hurt). I enjoyed reading it. You did a great job adding interest to your story with the virus and not knowing if the man could be trusted. I like that he was able to help the dog, and that Harry and Dot enjoyed each other's company because of the dog. Best wishes.
Respectfully, Jan

Aww! What a great story of how a friendship blossomed during the pandemic! Hope you do well in the contest!!

'Happened once to Jorge here, my old labrador.' (Seems like the stranger is talking here. So a blank line in between would help the reader know the change in speaker.)
A blank line after these lines would help, too:
'Brandy's my buddy for morning walks,' Dorothy blurted out.
'Same here,' the man replied, 'name's Harry.'

Harry smiled. (Can you show us how we know he smiled? He was wearing a mask. Did his eyes crinkle, twinkle?

That's a heart warming little piece. I so liked it and the little incident that brought them together with mask and all. I liked it a lot. It's a great entry. Good luck. Ulla:)))

This is a creatively written story that is life altering and heart-warming. I'm glad to read stories that take place during these trying times but have a pleasant outcome. Two adults and two canines are able to share pleasant walks together as the result of Brandy's mishap. Great story. Best wishes in the contest.

What a lovely post Zanya, the thought that such a propitious chance encounter could work out so well, it's amazing how "sliding doors" work, although I'm of the opinion that nothing is chance, beautifully written my friend, blessings Roy
