“Uma umdlwane ukhwehlela, inhliziyo yakho iyama, uzizwa kabi bese ucabanga, 'Awu, angifuni lokhu kwenzeke,'” kusho yena.“Ngakho ngikhathazeke kakhulu.”
U-Abbott no-Finnegan akubona kuphela i-duo yenja/yesilwane esifuywayo esisele kulo nyaka.Njengoba isimo sezulu siba ngcono futhi nemingcele isuswa, abantu bayabuthana emapaki ezinja, odokotela bezilwane abathi sekuholele ekwandeni kwezigameko ze-bordetella, eyaziwa nangokuthi "ukukhwehlela kwe-kennel."

"Iningi lalezi zinja lalinokukhwehlela okuncane okwakungenamthelela empilweni yazo yonke futhi laziphelela ngokwalo emasontweni amabili," kusho uDkt. Happel.Ezinjeni eziningi, lesi akusona isifo esibi kakhulu.
Kwaba njalo nangoFinnegan.Ngokushesha u-Abbott wabiza udokotela wakhe wezilwane, owagoma inja futhi wabeluleka ukuba bagcine uFinnegan kude nezinye izinja amasonto amabili.
