This book presents one of the most touching stories written by Anton Chekhov, called "Kashtanka" (Kachtanka in French), after the dog who is its main character. It's a story of loyalty and belonging.
...The dog named Kashtanka belongs to a carpenter who takes her out one day, but loses on the way home. The dog is picked up on the street by an old man who takes him to the circus where Kashtanka becomes a part of an act, along with other circus animals.
Some time later the dog's original owner brings his son to the circus show, where they recognize Kashtanka and call her by her name. Kashtanka immediately drops her "Auntie" stage persona and follows them home...
