Pitchouné, who might have been considered as one of the infinitesimal / atoms in the economy of the universe, ran over the sands away from / his master. He was an infinitesimal dot on the desert's face. He / was only a small Irish terrier in the heart of the Sahara. His / little wiry body and his color seemed to blend with the dust. His / eyes were dimmed by hunger and thirst and exhaustion, but there was / the blood of a fighter in him and he was a thoroughbred. / Nevertheless, he was running away. It looked very much like it. / There was no one to comment on his treachery; had there been, / Pitchouné would not have run far.
It was not an ordinary sight to see on the Sahara -- a small Irish / terrier going as fast as he could.
