Two cute small creatures. On was a little girl with a pretty face and bright eyes, the other one was young long-haired dachshund named 'Leo'. They were not in the same place, but I think they would have liked each other.
Counter woman: "Ney oi mat-ah, mui mui?"
[What would you like, little girl?]
Little girl: "Ngoh jung-yi naai yau baau, yi yi."

Some pets are a great credit to their humans.

It's probably very good indeed.
