dog ate first draft novel

It depends on how much you remember. If you have a good memory of the main plot and characters, the chances are quite high. You can use your recollection as a guide to rewrite it.

Well, you could try to piece it together. Maybe your dog didn't completely destroy it. Check if there are any chewed - up pages that still have legible parts. And if you can't find any remnants, think about the overall story arc in your head. You know, like how it began, the main conflict, and how you intended it to end. Then start writing again.

I don't know of any particular novel first draft that met such a fate. It could be a very unique and maybe even fictional occurrence.

Oh man, it was a disaster. The dog found the manuscript and thought it was a new chew toy. There was no saving it after that.

I have no idea. Maybe it's just a made-up story or a very rare incident that hasn't been widely reported.

I have no idea. Don't think I've come across such a story before.

I have no idea. I haven't come across such a story.

I have no idea. This is a rather peculiar situation and I haven't heard of any such incident.

Sorry, I don't know of any specific novel with such an incident. Maybe it's a very rare or unknown case.

I have no idea. This is such a strange and specific situation that I haven't come across before.
