I loved your story and would be interested in seeing your animation video 100% once you have completed it. Perhaps I could implement a couple stories form stutterers from here as well. They could be the people your character meets as he/she searches for a cure. I'd love to give you my story if your interested. If not then that is cool too. I like how your character started talking to people like he did the dog and let his worries about people's thoughts become irrelevant to him. Because if your talking to a dog then you believe they understand you and don't care in the slightest if you stutter or not. I know I feel this way when talking to my dogs and cat. I find this story incredibly intriguing and would like to know more about it in the future. I am a 22 year old female.
