There was a remarkable chemistry between us. He had a strong personality and a strong name to go with it, a single syllable beginning with the letter B. I visited B every day after school. When I went off to college and left the dog behind, I missed him terribly. Ten years later, I contacted a breeder and inquired about a puppy like B. I was told that the single-parent household in New York City was no place for such a noble puppy. They refused to sell me one.<\/p>\n Jako pi\u0119tnastoletnia dziewczyna zapozna\u0142am si\u0119 z psem, kt\u00f3rego rasa by\u0142a dosy\u0107 rzadko spotykana w tym kraju.
