“An original and funny story, with a harsh touch, that will make people think. In a world turned upside down, with animals and humans swapping their roles, a young member of the sheep family insists on owning a pet…” (El País).

This man was also a child in the past, logically. We all were children once. He used to live with his parents in a nice apartment by then. After the school, he got a job. He used to get up early every moring to go to work. Later, this man had his own family, and that was a beautiful time. But, after that, he started to have bad luck.
