There in the rich smelly darkness,  in the rub of hair, claws and teeth, he joins four puppies suckling at  their mother's teats. And so begins Romochka's life as a dog.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eWeak  and hairless, with his useless nose and blunt little teeth, Romochka is  ashamed of what a poor dog he makes.
