Act 1
INT. DINING ROOM - NIGHT
Sitting between the PACK LEADER and a GANG MEMBER at the dining table, KAJI focuses on the treats before her.
KAJI (V.O.): Before they say OK, they'd want me to do this and that to earn my treats.
Pausing.
KAJI (V.O.) (Cont'd): Every move I make is calculated.
GANG MEMBER#1: Ching! Ching!
KAJI (V.O.) (Cont'd): First command.
Kaji rears up my hind legs with my front paws down.
PACK LEADER: Kaji!
KAJI (V.O.) (Cont'd): That isn't OK. Not sure if she's calling my name. I just repeat what they like - my calculated risk.
When Kaji rears up my hind legs with my front paws down again, the pack leader and the gang burst into laughter.
Act 2
INT. DINING ROOM - CONTINUOUS
KAJI (V.O.) (Cont'd): They use sounds to communicate their cues. They like to speak and want me to listen.
Pausing.
KAJI (V.O.) (Cont'd): On the other hand, I use my body postures and smells to communicate with my friends. I'm not strong in listening.
Pausing.
KAJI (V.O.) (Cont'd): To calculate my moves, I use my nose to smell, my eyes to watch and my ears to interpret their cues.
Pausing.
KAJI (V.O.) (Cont'd): I don't know how to analyse their sounds. When I get conflicting cues, I just do the postures they like to please them.
Pausing.
KAJI (V.O.) (Cont'd): Their laughter evidence that my calculated move has exceeded their expectations.
INT. DINNING ROOM - DAY
Kaji is joining the Pack Leader and the Gang Members#1 & 2 for breakfast. Having let Kaji smell a treat, Gang Member#1 uses her hands to obscure Kaji's vision.
KAJI (V.O.): I can't see my treat! Where's it now?
Kaji struggles to see, but without success.
PETER: See if she can make use of her nose to make a calculated move.
Gang Member#1 then puts the treat near Kaji's nose.
KAJI (V.O.): Hmm, I can smell that my treat is nearby.
ACT 3
INT. DINING ROOM - CONTINUOUS
Using her long tongue, Kaji succeeds in grabbing the treat into her mouth.
PETER: Ha! She has succeeded.
Seeing Kaji smiling. PETER takes a close-up photo of her. Then, Gang Member#2 knocks at his side of the table.
KAJI (V.O.): Ah, that's another cue for a treat that I can eat.
Kaji jumps down from her seat to follow the treat.
KAJI (V.O.) (Cont'd): But I've to jump up and sit close to that gang member before I can get it. Do I have sufficient room to make the move?
Having done her calculations, Kaji makes a move.
PETER: She has made it. Great jump! She deserves a good treat.
GANG MEMBER#2: OK!
FADE OUT.
THE END
