So, you have a dog, and his name is... Dog? Interesting. He does look like a good one too. Loyal. But then, most canines are.
[He pauses, something about "Dog' and this new arrival feels funny. And familiar. How unusual that is.]
I know it seems annoying to be stuck here in one town, can't leave it. But it's not so bad after a while. In time, you might even have a good life here. Or even better? A chance for a business opportunity, like me and others have.
