Estrella walked through the trees, her faithful dog at her left side. She soon emerged from the forest. She kept walking, but tripped over a rock jutting up from the ground. It had become apparent that she was blind. She pulled herself up and leaned up against a tree, waiting for somebody to notice her.

Laika, named for her resemblance to the first dog in space, circled around her master protectively. She kept an eye out for any danger. Yes, she was a good dog.
