Amanda always worked hard. She saw this as one of her best qualities. Even when the work was boring or tedious she applied herself fully.

Drawing on this for strength she surveyed the scene before her.

She would need courage.

Others might turn and run. She would be putting herself in harm’s way, but she was a journalist. Sometimes you cannot choose the news you covered.

Sometimes the news you covered is a regional dog show.

Amanda could see a fat man with a beard and jodhpurs arguing with a woman in her sixties.

“I ought to charge you twelve hundred dollars,” said the woman. “That’s how much I charge, for bitches to be serviced by Marko.”

Marko was an incredibly rare Pharos Hound with an incredibly small head. To Amanda it looked like a sand colored, out of proportion greyhound. Marko’s owner, the indomitable Ms. Smithton, was a woman with lipstick that has the consistency of Vaseline. Her lipstick was further ruined by her pipe smoking. With skin like driftwood and hair dyed the color of rust she was about as attractive as her out of proportion dog.
