Lol! I love your use of Norman Rockwell's picture and you created a fifty-word story based on it! Yes, that dog does seem to know how to genuflect even if facing the wrong way! Best wishes in the contest!

The boy has trained his dog well. I love that you found artwork to go with the story or vice versa. It will be hard to deny that dog access to the church.
Best of luck in the contest.

He's definitely a good Catholic dog. We once had a dog come into our cathedral and he laid down on the chancel steps. No one minded, and he stayed there the entire service. We frequently had bird to fly in the high ceilings. They are God's creatures, and who knows these little creatures didn't know where they were!

Quite funny and surprisingly ingenuous. I liked the fact that this could easily happen twenty years ago!!! I wish you good luck for the contest!!

This is so funny. What a clever boy. I wonder if the lady had anything to say to that. I'm always amazed by these short pieces, some of which are not only funny but clear and tell a complete story. In this case, did you find the artwork first and write the story or vice versa?

    Hi, Mary, the Rockwell painting inspired the story. I am delighted you enjoyed it. Many thanks for your praise.

    You are welcome. I got quite a laugh out of it and shared it with a friend today. She thought it was hilarious. (She didn't even get to see the picture since I just told her the story!)

This was a cute story. I think Norman Rockwell art is always a winning combination as well. I could not find any thing that needed improvement. Good luck in this contest!

Good story. I appreciate the humour in the last line. A clever dog indeed. It is not easy to complete a story in fifty words. Congratulations. Best of luck in the competition.

Not two many Catholics genuflect anymore, so Spot should be more than welcome. This is a cute story and a good submission for the contest. Best of luck.
