What a great little teaser. I could have read more but had to be satisfied with what you gave me. It is difficult to fit a full piece in such a small area but you managed it very well indeed. Good job. Regards Mabaker.

Thank you so much for taking time to read my 50 word story. Yes, it's hard to say everything we want and the story needs in fifty words. And, with my big mouth who usually rambles, I amazed I got it done. Your kind words and generous review are greatly appreciated. :-)

That was a very clever piece of writing.

Ok, I can see the cops saying "Up against the wall" lol...a funny writing.
I can see in my mind's eye how the police would feel apprehending the
"felon". Good writing for just 50 words.

Thank you so much for taking time to read my 50 word story. Your kind words and generous review are greatly appreciated. Now days the police might have blown the house up or at least spent the day interrogating the beagle. LOL. :-)

An entertaining and well-structured story which clearly builds up tension in the mind of the reader. The twist at the end is highly effective and has excellent comedic value. Thanks for sharing.

You sure have composed a quick and short story that is full of visual imagery. A cute puppy with a steak. I would say he is in big trouble when his owner finds out.

Thanks so much for taking time to read my 50 word story. Your kind words and generous review are greatly appreciated. I had two beagle for hunting when I was a boy. One would disappear at the first shot, run all the way home, and hide under the house. The other one wouldn't raise an ear if you shot right next to his head, especially, if he had food. :-)

I enjoyed the story. I hope I'm wrong, but I believe tear gas is actually two words. Like said hope not. best of luck in the competition.

Take care,
Russell

Thanks you so much for taking time to read my 50 word story. Your kind words and generous review are greatly appreciated. I tried the word both ways thinking that it should probably be two words, but when I wrote it as one word it was accepted as okay. Oh, well, I had fun writing it either way. LOL.

This is an interesting read. I wondered where you were going with this. I think maybe animal rights or animal cruelty.

Thanks so much for taking time to read my 50 word story. Your kind words and generous review are greatly appreciated. Can't be animal cruelty with a beagle eating porter house steaks. LOL! There is more truth in this story than I care to admit. :-)

Good

I think it is a unique writing. I believe in enforcers of the law and believe they would not be on a scene if criminal activity is involved. I thought about it after the write on the flash bang going in a crib.

Thanks for taking time to read my 50 word story. The blood was from the steak the dog had stolen, and no one was home before coming back to see the dog with the steak. This was actually taken from a similar incident in real life. No, the police didn't tear gas the house, but a neighbor had called them. I had two beagles at the time. One that would beat us home from hunting at the first gun shot. The one in this story wouldn't raise an ear if you shot right beside his head, especially, if he had food. :-)

Your story is interesting, but it took a second reading for me to get the full impact of the story. It may be a problem for you in the contest; however, good luck.

Yes, I'm afraid you might be right. If things don't smack people in the face like a hot pastrami on rye, they seldom get the jest of it. LOL! Oh, well, I had fun writing it, and I'm thankful for those of you who caught on. I had two beagles as a boy. One would disappear at the first shot, run all the way home, and hide under the house. The other is the one in this story. He wouldn't raise and ear if you shot right beside his head, especially if he had food. Thanks for taking time to read my story. Your kind words and generous review are greatly appreciated. :-)
