Gal Pals

Gal Pals by Donna Lee Goldberg (a Short Story Contest submission)

Doggy gal pals Magenta and Chloe became friends on their own. No humans involved. From her porch, Chloe woofed “hi” to Magenta as she walked by. Magenta yipped hello and pulled Leah, her human, to the chain-link fence in the back so the puppy friends could sniff each other. Chloe dug a hole until their paws could reach. The pups knew friendship instantly. Humans took longer to figure it out.
