Summary:
Fufi is his deaf dog and Robert is his father. But Fufi refused to leave other people's home to go back home with him. He learned? a lesson---you do not own the thing that you love. He never called Robert Dad in case of being into trouble under apartheid, but he clearly remembered how well he loved Christmas with Robert. After ten-year gap with Robert, he reconnected with Robert with the help of embassy. He felt a flood of emotions rushing through him when he saw an oversized photo album, a scrapbook of everything he had ever done, which is made by Robert.
Thought:
I believed that Fufi was my dog, but of course that wasn’t true. Fufi was a dog. I was a boy. We got along well. She happened to live in my house.
