Reading Notes: The Little Hunting Dog, Part B

This story had a scholar who didn't like to live with anyone. He witnessed a tiny little kingdom which in my head represented buggs because they were only a couple of inches if that tall. When they all disappeared, they left a little hunting dog. I think the scholar had become fond of the dog, but the dog died. I was so sad when the dog died. I love dogs. However, the dog died protecting the scholar while he slept which makes me even sadder.
