After the cat, a dog.Chtsal, ashamed of his nakedness, was frightened to approach the
well covered, furry animals which radiated the sort of uncertain silly niceness that some
of the creatures on chtsal͛s own planet displayed. The dog growled and wagged his tale.
Chtsal sensed that it might attack him, or adore him or both. The dog licked him.
Disgusted, Chtsal left it. The dog stared after him wagging it͛s tale.It did not follow.
