Charo episode2 - Far from Japan

Charo is wandering around town. He feels so tired that he squats down by a fence.

Parking lot attendant:Hey! Where'd you come from? This isn't place to rest.
Charo:Woof!
Parking lot attendant: This is the gate of a parking lot. You're blocking the way.
Charo: Woof woof!
Manhattan is no longer a friendly town to Charo. he moves, but his legs feel so heavy.
Charo: I'm hungy...(whimper)
Yes, Charo is hungrier than ever. But when he reaches the next crossing, he stops and looks up in amazement. The tall building are all being lit up. And one of them seems familiar.

Charo: あ、あの高い日ビル。翔太ととまってホテルの近くにあったやつだ。翔太が探しにくるかも。いってみよう。

Down the street, the Chrysler Building is shining. Charo gets to 42nd St. and sees the hotel. He happily runs ahead but...

Doorman: Hey, you can't come in here. Shoo! Shoo!!
Gharo: Let me in. I was here before. Arf!
Doorman: Go! Get going.

Again Charo is kicked out. He now sees that a dog can't get in palces like this, unless hi is with a human. He's all alone now. What can he do? He stumbles into the back alley of the hotel and lies down.

Charo:イタッ!

There, a great big boxer.

Charo: Big dog...
Dread: Hey, who do you think you are? This is my territory.

Charo: I'm sorry.
Dread: You'd better be.
Charo: Errr....sir..?
Dread:...Huh?
Charo:Which way is Japan?
Dread:Japan?
Charo:How long does it take to Japan?
Dread:What?
Charo:If I walk, how long?

The big dog can't believe what he's just heard.

Dread:Japan is ...far.
Charo:It takes days?
Dread:....
Charo:Months?
Dread:...You came from Japan?
Charo:Yes. I got lost. At the airport. I was going back to Japan.
Dread:But now you can't. Not any more.
Charo:Why?
Dread:Dogs can't get on the airplanes,not by themselves,you understand?
Charo:Arf!
Dread:Japan is far far far away.For you,it'll take more than a lifetime.
Charo:Life...time?
Dread:Yeah. That means you'll be dead. Listen,you've got to learn to live here. Forget about Japan and get used to it here.

The big boxer starts to walk again.

Charo:うそだ、うそだ。Shota...Shota...(whine)

But at that moment...

Dread:Okay,okay. I'll help you,but only for today.

Dread,big boxer,carries Charo gently in his mouth and moves on. Charo sees the city lights moving back and forth,until comfortably,he feels himself pass out.
