OK, I feel bad about constantly asking for your opinions, but...

I think someone needs to write a story about a pet that had the spoiled pampered life, love and all the comforts of life, then suddenly finds itself given to someone who thinks a dog is a animal that needs to be kept outside on a chain. (The heartbreak that his family didn't want him anymore, the horror and confusion of how he is treated now...) he escapes and has to learn how to find shelter, food and hopefully, someone to love him. The cruelity he endures at the hands of the humans, the hunger when he can't find food, the depression he suffers at the way his life has gone.

The life that many pets suffer every day......

There is a book similar to that, an older book, and my gosh I can't remember the name, but it has always stuck with me ever since I first read it. It's at my moms house, I'll find it tomorrow, but I would definately recommend reading it. Although it starts with the dog being a stray, it follows the dog through its life, similar to Black Beauty.

I would love to see a book along the lines of that one HBO special, Shelter Dogs..a book of 'short stories' of various shelter dogs around the country. I love reading stuff like that.

Far too many sad animal books out there, write something happy for a change.

Wow, you all had some great ideas! I'm really sorry that I didn't reply for a couple days, I've been really busy with school, and don't have alot of time on the computer anymore. Those were some really good ideas you all came up with! I'm really excited to start my story. I'll have to post my story and ideas as I go, and I'm just really excited to start. In fact, I am going to go start my first draft in a few minutes!
