Alexander Koryagin:

Does the speaking dog look funny in your region?

I should find it funny at first, as long as I thought it a
trick taught the dog by dumb drilling. But as it continued
to speak coherently, I should grow alarmed and might try to
laugh the matter off, although my laugh would be forced.
Then I should misdoubt my sanity and senses, which is not
funny at all no matter the looks of the dog!

The idea of this story is that the dog was so stunned that it even
forgot about it was a dog. That's why it said those words.

Bye, Anton!
