A dog named manga

There's a growling, spotty dog prowling amongst these pages, and he's called Manga. It's the perfect name for a sharp-toothed, mixed-breed mongrel, one who cocks a leg to piss on a snoring man lying in the street with a knife jammed into  the top of his skull. Manga is a lot like that dog, out there without a collar, without a lead, not fully house-trained, a playful puppy at times, but taken to roaming wild, marking its territory wherever it pleases and howling at the moon.
