That's really neat, great job! :D

Wow, that was great. I love the way it’s written. Good job!

Sirius made a better dog than a human. He had all the dogly virtues without the human facility for reflection and self-examination. Great use of the "black dog" motif in the ghost that wanders sadly through his old hunting grounds, unnoticed and therefore alone, as a dog should never be.

Sad, lonely, moving and strange. I liked it. I'll go read the original.

Interesting. Different but good. Great job.

Something different, yes, but still very good. Poor bloody Sirius.
