Itachi doesn't really like dogs. And he's not a cat lover either. He prefers birds. Preferably, crows.

And, for the record, he especially dislikes big, slobbering dogs.

But big dogs certainly love him.

He's bowled over on his back while the big gray dogs all swarm him, dripping saliva on his shirt. Itachi wonders if now will be the end.

"Haimaru! Get off him!"

A tall Inuzuka girl with wide black eyes drags the dogs off Itachi, and holds out a hand, grinning ruefully. "Sorry about them. They're very affectionate."

Itachi decides that maybe he can stand dogs after all.
