Chapter II: The Fetish
Chapter II: The Fetish draws to a close not with confrontation, but with quiet transformation. As the constable lay dripping and breathless on the dock, his life newly spared, the figure he focused on was not the Master or Mistress, but the collie who had plunged into the water to save him.

Chapter IX: Old Dog; New Tricks

At twelve, his muzzle is silvered and his steps are slower, but his mind remains sharp. One afternoon, he surprises his family by trotting home with a lace parasol clutched delicately in his jaws. He found it abandoned, yet…-
