The suggested length is 600 to 750 words, but submissions of any length will be considered. Submissions may be edited before publication. Submissions must be signed and include contact information.

Brutus the Dane

The loss of a pet is heart breaking. Yesterday, I lost my best furiend. He happened to be the editor-in-chief of The Anipal Times so I take this moment to look back on the joy that he brought so many. This is for my big boy–Brutus!
