Doghero.com Announces the Winners of the 2004 Dog Story Contest
September, 2002—Doghero.Com (home of Canine Courage: The Heroism of Dogs) announces the winners of the 2004 dog story contest for nonfiction dog stories. These stories, selected from over 200 entries, are fun to read, touching and always entertaining. More than simple tales, the stories get to the core of the relationship between dogs and people, and each story tells us something about why we love dogs.
In the winning entry, A Dog Named Jeff, author Wayne McDowell, shares his memory of a mascot in Vietnam and the events of one terrible night when the camp was invaded. McDowell will never forget Jeff or his actions, and neither will you in this moving story from Vietnam. But be prepared to cry when you read about Jeff.
In the second place story, Sleet, Sandra McLeod Humphrey introduces the most unique dog you will ever meet. A dog who does not quite look the way he is suppose to look or act the way he should but whose antics are endlessly entertaining.
Author Pamela Jenkins, in her third place entry, Nothing That Can’t Be Fixed, shares her story of a stray dog and the tough decision she has to make. Find out what she chooses and decide for yourself if she made the right decision.
Alta Follis introduces a lonely World War II veteran in her fourth place story, The War Hero, and tells about the difference he made in her life when she was a child. Again, grab for a tissue before reading this story.
For a change of pace, in the fifth place story, A Small Gift, Neil Mace brings the sport of field trials alive with his recollection of a dog who would rather race than hunt.
There were many good entries in the contest, several humorous, some sad but all great reading for dog lovers. To share the best, ten stories were also awarded an Honorable Mention. Every dog owner will identify with this diverse collection of stories, after all, we all have wondered if our dog would protect us in a dangerous situation, have a story of something gross or amazing our dog ate, or had a special dog that helped change our life.
