Another famous dog in literature is Effi Briest's Rollo, - in the end her one 
true friend. Last weekend, during a Neo-Reichian workshop, myself was 
transformed into a barking dog for some minutes. It was really fun.

PS: Wasn't Vaska the name of the dog that went into Space with a Russian rocket?
