„In einzelnen Boxen warteten Hunde der verschiedensten Rassen auf neue Besitzer, darunter Shih Tzu, Beagle und Malteser.“
„Die beiden Hunde waren Beagles, kurzbeinig und hektisch, sprangen immer wieder in den brusthohen Schnee oder pflügten mit der Nase hindurch, schleuderten unter heftigem Schwanzgewirbel Schnee hoch und an ihren Ohren vorbei und blickten dann mit weißen Brauen und Lefzen auf, gnomenhaft und mit grauen Gesichtern wie alte Männer.“
