It's...First, I must say that I LOVE the cover. It's well done. Having Joe as the central image also gives us a hint that he is an important character. The little tage hanging off the title is wonderfully inspired.<br />I think that having Joe in the story was a great idea because it adds something unique to an otherwise basic circumstance, and introduces an element of the unknown to the narrative. Joe is the wild card that both defines and unsettles the protagonists life. And no two dogs are the same. <br />I love the humor in the pitch, as well, and the way Larkin captures the essential variables of her narrative.<br />I am about to graduate from an MFA program, and part of that residency is the opportunity to meet with a real agent. I've been struggling with my letter for weeks. Thanks for posting the contest and please enter me.
