FADE IN
Act 1
EXT. RIVERSIDE PARK - EARLY AFTERNOON
Sunny. KAJI trots alongside the PACK LEADER and PETER.
KAJI (V.O.): Whenever I'm here, I can't contain my joy.
Kaji stops to sniff the green grass.
KAJI (V.O.) (Cont'd): Familiar scents. Here's my favourite spot.
Kaji then squats to relieve herself.
KAJI (V.O.) (Cont'd): It's so satisfying!
Kaji then kicks the grass, as the Pack Leader and Peter watch.
PETER: One, two, three, four, five, six, seven, eight! She gets full satisfaction.
The Pack Leader smiles and then clears the mess for Kaji.
KAJI (V.O.): What's next? Ordinarily, we'll go home.
Act 2
MONTAGE OF WHAT'S NEXT
A. Streets. They walk towards an estate.
B. Car park#1. They get inside a big car.
C. Roads. Sitting with the Pack Leader at the passenger seat, Kaji observes the moving scenes.
D. Car park#2. Leaving it, they walk towards SPCA.
END MONTAGE
INT. SPCA - AFTERNOON
Appearing with the Pack Leader and Peter, Kaji observes the environment.
KAJI (V.O.): I believe I was here before.
PACK LEADER: You're going to have a photo session. And your image will appear in SPCA's 2025 calendar.
KAJI (V.O.): I really don't care.
Inside a studio. A PHOTOGRAPHER and a supporting STAFF guide them into positions.
KAJI (V.O.) (Cont'd): I've gone through this before. I'll cooperate.
As Kaji smiles, we hear successive shutter sounds.
KAJI (V.O.) (Cont'd): I've done my modelling job. What's next?
INT. PEAK GALLERIA - AFTERNOON
Car park. They alight. Peter takes care of the empty carrier cart.
KAJI (V.O.): I believe I was here before. But I'm not sure if I can lead.
PACK LEADER: Let's go to the mall first. I need to buy an iced drink.
KAJI (V.O.): Wearing my fur in summer, I feel hot.
Kaji leads the Pack Leader and Peter to the mall's main door.
KAJI (V.O.) (Cont'd): I just chase the source of the cool air.
Leading, Kaji inspects the stores and stops at one.
KAJI (V.O.) (Cont'd): It has got many of my look-a-like toys.
Then, Peter discovers a red barber chair in a nicely decorated setting.
PETER: Is this a pet's hairdressing salon?
KAJI (V.O.): What? A torture chamber up here?
PACK LEADER: No, just props for photo sessions with pets!
KAJI (V.O.): Do I have to play my modelling role again?
EXT. LUGARD ROAD - EVENING
Scenic. Kaji is following the Pack Leader and Peter.
KAJI (V.O.): The road is long. I'm thirsty too.
As the Pack Leader passes the water, Kaji drinks readily.
PETER: She seldom drinks outside.
KAJI (V.O.) (Cont'd): My little legs are getting very tired. May I be carried?
As they pause, Kaji stays passively close to her carrier cart.
PACK LEADER: Earlier, we thought it was a mistake to have the cart with us...
Act 3
EXT. McDONALD'S, THE PEAK - SUNSET
Resting in her carrier cart by the side of the Pack Leader and Peter, Kaji looks content and comfortable.
KAJI (V.O.): Having had an eventful day, I wouldn't mind eating out too.
While the Pack Leader gives Kaji some soft chicken bones, Peter passes her slices of bread.
KAJI (V.O.) (Cont'd): They do pay good attention to my cues and body language.
Accepting the treats, Kaji takes another look of the Pack Leader and Peter.
KAJI (V.O.) (Cont'd): We all like to seek the extraordinary - the art of living fully.
FADE OUT
