END FLASHBACK
Act 2
EXT. PET GARDEN#1 - CONTINUOUS
Ignoring STRANGERS and their MASTERS, Kaji runs straight in.
KAJI (V.O.)(Cont'd): It's quite crowded.
Kaji checks one corner.
KAJI (V.O.)(Cont'd): No earth to scratch. Nothing to dig.
Kaji checks a second corner.
KAJI (V.O.)(Cont'd): Everywhere is concrete. It can't be a good spot to urinate or poop.
As soon as Kaji has urinated, the Pack Leader sprays the spot with water.
KAJI (V.O.)(Cont'd): There's clear blue sky above but no green turf under my feet.
Kaji checks a third corner.
KAJI (V.O.)(Cont'd): I've to settled for this one.
Having left a large poop, Kaji looks relaxed.
KAJI (V.O.)(Cont'd): it's highly satisfying and pleasurable.
After clearing the mess, the Pack Leader throws a tennis ball.
PACK LEADER: It's yours.
As Kaji is slow to chase, a small STRANGER grabs it with his mouth and brings it to MASTER#1.
KAJI (V.O.) (Cont'd): That's not yours, son.
As Master#1 throws the tennis ball, Kaji is again slow to chase. The small Stranger gets it and returns it to MASTER#1 again.
KAJI (V.O.) (Cont'd): I'm in good mood, son; or I'll teach you a lesson to put you back in line.
Kaji stares at the stranger.
KAJI (V.O.) (Cont'd): I'm not fearful of anyone. My tail is curled and is never between my legs.
Kaji sees Peter sitting on a bench under the shade.
KAJI (V.O.) (Cont'd): I belong to the Master class.
Joining Peter, Kaji looks down at Strangers playing around.
PACK LEADER: Don't just sit there! Go and socialise!
Reluctantly, Kaji gets down to the ground. She then sees an unleashed medium-sized gray and white Husky#1 walking past her.
KAJI (V.O.) (Cont'd): I can always keep calm.
Then, an unleashed large gray and white Husky#2 walks close with his mouth opening wide.
KAJI (V.O.) (Cont'd): What do you want?
With his head up, Husky#2 begins whining Woo-Hoo-Woo-Hoo to the air.
KAJI (V.O.) (Cont'd): Terrible! What a beast! I've to be protectively aggressive.
We see Kaji's ears laying tightly back against the head.
KAJI (V.O.) (Cont'd): Why can't I control my ears? What should I do next?
MASTER#2 comes to separate them.
KAJI (V.O.) (Cont'd): If she didn't do that, I may have to charge at her large pet!
Kaji gets close to the Pack Leader and Peter.
KAJI (V.O.) (Cont'd): It's high time we left.
Act 3
EXT. PET GARDEN#2 - TONIGHT
Patrolling, Kaji welcomes FRIENDS and their MASTERS at the entrance.
: KAJI (V.O.): Here's my turf.
Seeing a sable and white HUSKEY#3 and his MASTERS entering, Kaji goes to greet them, focusing on Huskey#3.
KAJI (V.O.)(Cont'd): He's still on a leash.
After a brief friendly encounter with Huskey#3, Kaji takes a look a Peter.
KAJI (V.O.) (Cont'd): See, I'm not afraid any more.
Later, Kaji leads the Pack Leader and Peter home.
FADE OUT
