Synopsis: There are 3 characters in this drama: a man, a woman and ... a dog (who is to be played by a child or by an actress). The action turns on a simple premise: the man wants to have his dog killed and leads it to a veterinary station, where the woman works. The dog hinders his lifestyle - but can love and faithfulness hinder anybody? Character of the woman - biting, and sometimes aggressive, but unselfish, ready to love and to help - determined the play's title. This touching play is presented by many theatres with great success. | ||||
