Cherie wanted a dog with every fibre of her being, but the doctors wouldn’t countenance the hair or the drool, so her loneliness grew and each day she faded a little more.
Schnitzel started life as a poster on Cherie’s bedroom wall, his face made her laugh and she seemed to take comfort from him.

“Schnitzel,” she whispered.
Who knew that a million dollar artificial dog could give a precious child the impetus to try and live.
