Lolek
Lolek was not lucky. As a puppy, he ended up in the home of a bad man who forgot to feed him, and when he felt like it, he was able to give the dog a good kick. Dogs are extremely faithful, but when something cruel happens that threatens their lives, they can find strength, break off the chain, and run away. Lolek’s escape took place during an extremely cold winter, but the dog did not give up. A wise, charming, touching, and sometimes sad story about a mongrel who suffered a lot but eventually found happiness. The author tells us about respect for animals (dogs in this case) and what they can give to humans in return. Lolek is his dog.
