What is your opinion?
Or is it endearingly savage...
"I agree with PLMcMillan about the introduction. Skimmed most of it, picking up where Boy met Rael and Lir. Because of that, unfortunately, I lost context for these two characters throughout the rest of the story. (I had a hard time telling them apart at points.) Thankfully Boy was plucky enough for me to keep going--and reminded me of the golden retriever from Up. I could see him in sequels or spin-offs. Perhaps even turning feral after a savagely endearing ending like this. Other notes: I'm still not entirely sure if he was bipedal or moved around on all fours. Certain scenes could play either way. And, in terms of his heritage (/deliberate gene splicing), scent hounds tend to have broad, elongated muzzles housing their complex olfactory network. You used the word "stubby" to describe Boy's. A minor detail to most, probably."
A bit of a rough start
"I thought this story had a really interesting idea and I liked the character of Boy. The dialogue was interesting too but the thing I struggled with was the beginning. I felt like a lot of info and fictional words were dropped on me in the very first part, which really jarred me out of the story and it made it hard to read on. My suggestion would be to clean up the beginning and make the introduction of that info more natural and easy to sort through."
