Read:
Timorato was the son, grandson and great-grandson of a stray. […] And until the day he came to Lucas' house, Timorato had only done one thing in his life: mutt. Now everything changed: soft bed, napping on Lucas' lap, food popping up all the time. Timorato got fatter, became very intelligent, and they said to each other "How cute!" and they had a party on it, that's it: it rolled here and there on the floor, all that was needed was to dissolve with joy.
