DASH INTO LOVE A Short Fiction Romance Written by Dorothy Wills-Raftery T he moment Hannah slipped the key into the lock of the door to her dog rescue, she was greeted by a chorus of barks, yelps, and howls. Her Siberian Husky, Dash, volleyed back a howl and tugged at the leash, eager to greet the dogs. Once inside, Hannah pocketed the key and unleashed Dash. She pulled her auburn hair back into a clip, then slid open the door to the kennel area.            “Breakfast time!” she called out. Dash led the way, stopping at each of the kennels to greet his furry friends with a sniff and tail wag. Suddenly, he did what his name implied; he dashed out of the room and into the outer office. Hannah followed to be sure he wasn’t into mischief, but her heart dropped when she saw the front door was wide open.     “No!” She grabbed a leash, and while locking the door she noticed the latch was loose. “Dash!” she called repeatedly as she sprinted down the road searching for him.
