Story idea

X was a lonely dog. He stayed home all day alone. Owners worked. One morning while they were gone. Forgot to lock the gate. He snuck out. Excited at first but no one would play with him. At the supermarket…in the park…no dogs….barber shop…he saw a water bowl outside a coffee shop. They must like dogs he thought, but the bowl was empty and dried out leaves meant no dogs had been there for a long time. Even the dog park he couldn’t get into – the dogs were fancier and the gate was closed – he was an outsider dog. So he started to go home. Sadly. He walked. Ears perked up when he saw a cat that looked lonely too….Or a man on a bench….
