    No one knows where “Puppy” came from. It’s girl’s secret pet. She settled him on Bald Mountain and slowly feeds him. She named him “Puppy”, because he behaved like one. When she first met a man there about the same age as her dad, she couldn't get over it for a long time. “Puppy”doesn't run away. Every morning he waits for her, dutifully and patiently, sitting in the middle of the hut on all fours.

    He obediently froze, staring at the ground, his eyes watered and he made almost no sounds.
