Mastiff

 The author of this story has done a great job in creating clear visuals for the reader. I had a very clear image of the characters, the scenery as well as guessing how big that dog was. The woman in the story at first was a little hard for me to understand to be honest. But as the story goes on, she starts explaining who she really is, meaning how she's looking for love and explaining the traits of " the man". Their relationship seems a bit unclear because they do things that normal friends do, and plus they haven't been intimate with one another at all. The woman really shows her caring side when the man was attacked by the dog and then later on admitted to the hospital. At that point you could really tell that the man meant a lot to her and she didn't want to lose him. On page 263, she refers to herself as the man's fiancee, " Sharply, she said. I am his fiancee." In my eyes this story comes off as complicated love story, You have two people who geniuely care about one another but I think they are both a little scared to confess that they love one another.
