Summary:

Ana looks out the pet store window with the store's last remaining animals for sale - a dog, a hedgehog and a mouse. What are they waiting for? She's watched as all the other dogs -the most charming, the most elegant, the strongest - have all gone off. Ana, too, has never left, except at nights when she closes the store and goes home to her grandmother.  But a day comes when the store owner announces that he has sold the store. An office tower will be built in its place. It makes no difference to him what happens to the animals. Ana knows what she does next will make all the difference to her friends, because after being together so long, isn't that what they are?
