How do you strike a stability between crafting a compelling thriller plot and incorporating heartwarming moments involving the canine?
Dogs are the most effective topics to write down about. They are loyal and curious characters with distinct personalities who’re keenly concerned about all the things you do.
Their superb sense of odor and talent to guage character make them the proper Watson to an investigation. You’d be stunned how a lot your pup has to say.
