A dog has their person, and a person has their dog. The dog is black, with long, elegant legs and an intelligent gaze. Sometimes he wishes he could be more like a human, while his person thinks that it is the dog who gets to do all the most exciting things. At times, the dog does not quite understand what his person wants from him, but he remains a loyal and faithful friend all the same. One thing is certain: he has absolutely no desire to go to dog school, where dogs are taught to be less joyful. But how else could he express his happiness if not by barking at the top of his voice?
