Talk:Poodle Cut/@comment-4707872-20150716222406

It was an interesting read, and the poodle aspect was unique, but there were some inconsistencies and missed opportunities that ruined the story for me.... The error that bugged me the most was the size of the poodle. When you say two feet tall, most people would assume 2 feet at the head. (That's barely 9 inches taller than a miniature poodle). Most standards are about 2.5-3 feet at the withers. So Macey didn't seem that scary, because I'm jsut imagining this tiny thing terrorizing people.

Also, why did the poodle have her eyelids and lips removed? I don't see how that would help in making the dog a killer. (I really don't see how stabbing/burning/etc would do anything but weaken it. Especially those nails. I doubt a dog that's been left unkempt for that long a time, with those long nails, would be able to walk much)

Where did the puppy come from? What's the point of the part about the groomer? Obviously the dog was fine at that point, so it didn't really fit to go into detail about how it got lost.

And finally,  I think maybe it would have been more logical for the doog food to have dog meat in it instead of human meat, as it would have a smilar effect as the mad cow disease, making the dog more of a killer.

Sorry for the dissection, but I'm a dog groomer and a writer and that's the worst combination when reading any story with dogs in it! I still really enjoyed the story, and liked that it was a fresh idea with unique aspects!
