When Anna grew a little older, she joined the "Piccole Italiane," the girls' legion.
Tina-Niki-Fido did not join anything. At least, I do not think she did. However, if there is a "Bone-and-Biscuit Dog Scouts" in Italy, you may be sure she became one.
She now belonged to both Tony and Anna. Still, it was Tony who cared for her, fed her, and slept with her.
You see, between Tony and Tina it had been love at first sight!
