The Four-Legged Substitute

Okay, I've never been a dog nor any pet fan. I've personally never owned a pet in my entire life, though our house has kept dogs since a cousin brought home one several years ago. That cousin has unfortunately left the world, and so we have his older brother continuing the legacy at home.

I arrive here in Korea to do my weekend strolls, and I see these really big dog breeds that surely get everybody's attention. Had I been some eight year old who saw these huge dogs, I would have ran onto them and rode on their backs! Hell with the owners who get just a fraction of a second look enough for people to see who drags these dogs in chains-- the size of these dogs are enough to glue my eyes onto them. I suddenly want a pet. The gigantic ones!
