Amy, thank you so much! The dog scene was cut down as it was too long, and dragged down an already long narrative. The story started as the pigeons telling the story, and my family, my best critics, squawked loudly — NO! I started the story before hearing of the murder of a real homeless guy in Rittenhouse. It was surreal. It was after hearing about the murder of a homeless guy that I found a better narrator than pigeons. lol. Thank you, again.
