His parents
are named in the appraising sheet.
But neither father nor mother has any
white coloring.
- That's right. But...
- We have no right to appraise him.
Put it away.
But... he has outstanding
field qualities.
Maybe. l'm removing your dog from
the ring,
because its coloring doesn't meet
the requirements of the breed.
You know, Leo Tolstoy
had a setter
from the red father and black mother,
and hence...
This way anyone can trace the origin
of his dog
to the great writer's dog.
And thus raise yourself to the level
of Tolstoy.
You're right. We have too many
Tolstoys...
They're turning up in numbers.
What does it mean?
- Ask the outsiders to leave the ring.
- All right, Bim. Let's go.
Unauthorized persons, please leave
the ring.
Let's go.
lvan lvanych, it's nothing personal!
The dog Bim is being taken off the
ring for not meeting the requirements.
- Your briefcase.
- Why did you bring him here?
He's the most beautiful dog anyway.
Will you sell him to me?
Sell me the dog!
Good for you. You said it honestly and
on principle. Take it easy.
We shall go on living. You're a good
dog. Everybody loves such dogs.
Even if you have no pedigree
certificate and medals.
Ha! Running like crazy.
Dogs all around.
ln old times residents wouldn't have
put up with this outrage!
They only spread infection.
And eat food that's in short supply.
- Who?
- Who? The dogs!
- Hello!
- Hello!
Jerk!
- He visits her every day.
- Perhaps they're in love.
Love! ln an individual one-room
apartment! Of course!
l bet they couldn't do it
in a communal apartment.
- No, there's some use in them, too.
- ln whom?
l mean the dogs.
Oh! What an idea! Just look at
what's going on.
What are their parents thinking about?
l would've complained long ago.
What do you mean, some use?
With an owner like his?
He lets him run without a muzzle,
scaring the children. He may bite them.
- Who?
- Who? We're talking about the dog.
- You're not very quick-witted.
- lt's just that l...
He bit me! He bit me!
What on earth is going on?
Good people, you're all witnesses!
No, l'm not going to put up with it!
Man-eater! Pal Titych!
Pal Titych! Tell me, what is this?!
l knew it was going to happen!
- What did you know?
- He bit me, the parasite!
Hey!
Bim, what's the matter?
Who has scared you?
We'll go to the editorial office now,
and tomorrow the hunting season starts.
Come in! lt's not locked!
- Hi there!
- Good morning.
- Going hunting?
- Yes, hunting.
- Fox hunting?
- No, we've nothing to do with foxes.
You'll have to wait.
May l ask why?
- Hunting is permitted.
- Yes, permitted. On a limited basis.
Well, let's get to the point.
Sit down!
You've got a dog.
And l've got a complaint. Here.
lt's some nonsense.
He's never bitten anyone and will not.
Bim is an intelligent dog.
lntelligent! He nearly
knocked me off my feet once.
A strange way to look into it. One who
is complained about has to read it.
That's the prescribed way. Besides,
the complaint is about a dog.
We won't give it to the dog to read.
The dog has to be fired.
lt doesn't have proper documents
either. l checked it.
We should meet the plaintiff
and talk to her.
Just a minute.
- Where are you?
- l'm here. Where else?
Come here.
So much for our hunting.
- There she is.
- l can tell it right to his face.
There's no law allowing dogs
to attack people.
He bit me.
- Bit you?
- Wanted to bite.
- Wanted to?
- He almost bit me.
Bim, where're you? Come here.
The door is open. Go and close it.
And fetch my slippers.
Hurry up!
Good. Now bring the other one.
Thank you.
What do you know! Nice doing.
Good for him.
Sit on the chair.
We have guests. Say hello.
- Hi! Left one, closer to the heart.
- You too. Come closer.
- Tell him: give me your paw.
- He won't bite?
Don't be afraid, he won't. Say hello.
- Give me your paw.
- Don't be afraid!
Bim! What's going on?
What kind of behavior is that?!
