128 Rrwoof!, it's a tiger (?)
day five, Hong Kong - I was sweeping my aunt's floor when I heard our neighbour 刘太 undo the latch of her door. Out burst forth the ferocious barks of her pet dogs, scarily loud and terribly near. Upon opening my aunt's door, I perceived a little brown shape with orange and black stripes, tearing down the corridor. In that instant, shock overcame me. I thought to myself, what sort of dog is that? Why does it have stripes like a cat? As if to dispel my confusion the peculiar little thing turned around and ran back into the house. It was a dog indeed no mistake, with a foxy pointy face and lovely mane no less, clad in a tiger print shirt! It was followed within a few seconds by a miniature schnauzer, greyish white, wearing a frilly white dress. But of course! It is winter after all. Our four-legged friends require protection from the cold as much as we human beings do, their thick coats of fur notwithstanding.
