Description: Galina Petrovna hasn't missed one talk since she joined the Azov House of Culture Elderly Club. Nevertheless, she would much rather be at home with her three-legged dog Boroda. Boroda isn't 'hers' exactly, they belong to each other, which is why Boroda doesn't wear a collar. Which is why Mitya the exterminator got her ... and why Vasily Semyonovich was arrested ... and why Galina had to call on Zoya, who had to call on Gregory Mikhailovich ... A joyful and hilarious tale of some very spirited septuagenarians as they overcome innumerable obstacles to save their beloved mutt from a heartless exterminator in a land where bureaucracy reigns above all else.
