A.Oh hello. Is this your dog?
B.Yes, this is Rex.
A.Hello Rex. What a cute dog. What type of dog is he?
B.He’s a pug.
A.Oh. I should have guessed. He looks quite well-behaved.
B.Actually, he never listens to me. If he wasn’t on the leash, I’m sure he would run away.
A.Well. He seems friendly anyways. How long have you had him?
B.We got him when he was a puppy. So maybe four years ago. Pugs are quite small. They are a good size for the city.
A.Aww. That’s great. I’d love to get a dog. We have a cat, but, if I could I would give it away.
B.Oh. Why’s that? Don’t like cats?
A.It’s not that I don’t like cats. But I don’t like my cat. It is so aggressive. It always tries to bite me or attack me when I’m sleeping. Maybe it is part-Tiger…
B.I understand.
A.Well. Enjoy your day! Bye Rex.
B. You as well. Goodbye.
