It was only when Gu Yu truly immersed himself in the door-to-door registration work, walking through the streets and alleys, that he understood the difficulties Jitar had spoken of.
"Damn! Walking is tough; communicating is tough; even making a run for it is tough..."
Gu Yu, with a small notebook in hand, patted the dust off his protective suit, his head drenched in sweat.
He felt ashamed when he thought about what had just happened; he never imagined that one day he would be chased down half an alley by a dog.
The whole thing started because he noticed a hut with lights still on and decided to knock on the door to see if the inhabitants had registered.
But when the door opened, out came a dog, skinny but unusually ferocious.
It didn't even bark before lunging at him. Luckily, he reacted quickly and dodged it, or the canine would have gone straight for his throat.
