PETER
Your honour, I appreciate that you have refunded the stolen items,
however he stole my dog and with all due respect that cannot be

was initiated.

LAWYER
Your honour my subject has pleaded guilty for the robbery of Mr
Peter Christian's home but he did not steal the dog
JUDGE
The defendant is guilt for the robbery of Peter Christian's house
and sentenced to 6 months in jail. However as the dog was not stolen
through the eyes of the jury and no human lives are at risk, no
police organised search party will be initiated.
PETER

And Stares at the ceiling. Then walks into the study come back with
the posters looks and them then throws them on the table and knocks
the mirror over.
CUT TO:
MONTAGE
Peter walking the dog
PETER VO
A dog, man's best friend. They are always there when you need them,
always happy. They listen to what you have to say with no risk of
judgement, even though they don't reply you feel like they do, you
feel like they understand. They do understand I know it. This is the
connection they create; they are an extension of who you are as a

person, but then why did she leave, why did she run away. Maybe this
connection isn't real, just something us people look for and create
to help us. This philosophical faade that we rap ourselves in to
protect our minds and force them to believe that we have someone,
someone looking out for us, someone to lean on, But still...
CUT TO:
DINNING ROOM
Peters back staring out the door
PETER
I'm doing this for my dog
He walks out the door, and the door closes.
