Yes, i wonder whether I should make it science fiction or not?
She could meet alien dogs (ie.e coyotes) in the park after escaping one night due to a fright. Her character would be very elegant and distinguished, kind and careful. She could help the coyotes by chasing the other bad dogs who get in their way? Hum....that sounds a bit like the coyotes could be gansgters. i am not sure i like it.
Or, I have something that seems to be a burgeoing idea; teh coyotes, since they truly are alien dogs form another planet in ancestry, (in this story anyway), could need charlotte's help since the dogs nearby think they are to be chased FOR THEIR FUNNY ALIEN SMELL.
