Lisa and I are inseparable; we do not do anything without each other. Lisa is a human, and I am a three-year-old puppy. My mistress was an accountant in Peristeri when she met my master, the fruit merchant Paschalis, and their love was born. Very soon he knelt down, putting a diamond on her finger, and asked her to be his wife. However, because he didn't like animals, he told her it would be best if they lived without me. She then gave him the ring back and said she preferred to break up. In the end, she relented.

Almost three years later, our relationship with my new master remains cold and strained; we keep up appearances but avoid each other like the devil avoids incense. Yet, my mistress and I continue to be inseparable.

Recently, we moved near the sea. There, in a small park, I saw Byron for the first time. And I, who care little for men, was taken aback. An aristocrat from the cradle, a bit snobbish but with manners, and so charming, he stole my heart. And I, his. Byron even had an impressive Russian companion, Larisa. And because I fell head over heels for him, I buried my pride and for the first time asked my master to take me out for an extra walk, something that stressed him. However, as soon as he saw Larisa, he became smitten too.

And this continued… until I realized my mistress's marriage was in danger. I didn't know what to do; I wanted to see Byron and couldn't resist his barking.

Until the troubles began for all of us…
