police station.
Them two want, but he ain't.
Resisting the police.
- He must go if they take him.
- Take him to the station.
What shall we do with you?
Whom are you waiting for? Your owner?
They're all like that. We educate them
on our money, and they insult us.
Oh! There he is! Speaking of
the devil! The main culprit!
lt was all because of him.
lt's good of you to bring him.
He came here himself. He's a clever
dog.
Clever. How can you say such things
about beasts?
He and l, we saw everything.
That boy is not guilty.
What? l can't even pronounce
what he called me.
- lt's a stray dog. Should be poisoned.
- Enough!
We came here to...
Keep quiet! Or l'll lock up everyone.
Come on, tell your story.
- Lyucia, have you seen Bim?
- No.
- He ran away.
- He'll come back.
We told everything right, didn't we?
- Please.
- You can go.
- Can we go too?
- Thank you, dog. And thank you, too.
- He understands everything.
- And what about us?
You stay.
- Connect me to the hunters' union.
- All right.
- Well, Black Ear?
- Andrei Leonidovich!
Hello? We need information on a dog.
A setter.
Number? Let me see. 124.
No information? lt can't be...
lt's a good dog.
Where? City Council? Thank you.
Get me the City Council.
He has no owner.
The dog is not registered.
- lf they bark at us at the poluce...
- You can go.
That's all? How can we expect order?
Everybody got out of hand.
- Veterinarian department.
- Go, granddad. Look up No.124.
- l'm father to you, not granddad.
- Go and rest.
A setter with exterior defects?
Perhaps he has defects.
Can't even be polite.
Yet they want to bring up such
creatures. Patting them on the back.
But he'll go, bow-wow! and eat you up.
Man-eater.
What? l need the owner's address.
Put it down: Proyezzhaya St. 41 ,
Apartment 19.
We found the owner.
Why do l know that address?
- lt's the address of the bitten one.
- Whose?
- The one who was bitten.
- Pithecanthropus's. Old scores.
- Will you take him yourself?
- l will.
l'm coming.
- Don't ring, my dear.
- Hello.
Hello. The owner's in a hospital.
Bim remained to watch the apartment.
He goes out and then comes back. Go in.
Come on in.
No, Bim. He's not back.
Do you know lvan lvanych?
l met Bim.
And he brought me here.
- l got the address at the police.
- What?
l thought he got lost.
But he was looking for his master.
He doesn't eat anything?
Not at home. Maybe he finds
something in the street.
No. He's missing his master.
He may die if he goes on like that.
Such a clever dog won't die.
There're so many stray dogs. They
find some stuff in the street..
Come on, let's make you eat something.
Eat, eat!
That won't do. Come on.
He's eating! What a smart dog!
He feels when people like him.
l'll try to talk him into it, too.
- His owner, is he in town?
- He was taken to Moscow.
- Why do you do that?
- l'll explain.
Don't let Bim out
until l bring the collar.
l'll be back in the morning.
Don't grieve. Your master will be back.
""His name is Bim. He's waiting for his
owner, living alone in the apartment.
Please don't hurt him.''
You're a kind girl.
And he's a loyal and clever dog. Wait.
Where're you going?
l guess his owner is a very good man.
He's quiet and lonely.
He was seriously wounded in the war.
That's his son. He died in
the mountains.
Four years ago. And that's his wife.
She couldn't cope with the son's death.
Are you from our town?
No, l'm studying in Moscow.
l was here for practical work.
Very good writers lived in this city.
lvan lvanych writes all the time, too.
- May l have a look?
- Why not? These are not letters.
Look as much as you want.
lt's all about you, Bim.
He loves you very much.
l got to go.
Tomorrow l'm leaving for Moscow.
Do you know what hospital he's in?
l don't know, dear. But if anything
had happened, they'd have let us know.
Don't worry, Bim, l'll find your
master.
- So you're going?
- Yes. Goodbye.
Goodbye,
