| Summary |
"Fortuna" by Enrique Pérez Escrich is a fictional narrative likely written in the late 19th century. This popular Spanish dog story revolves around the adventures of a dog named Fortuna, who becomes an integral ally in rescuing a kidnapped boy, highlighting themes of loyalty and heroism. The opening of "Fortuna" introduces a weary stray dog, wandering through a desolate village under the scorching summer sun. As the dog seeks water, it encounters hostility from the local townsfolk, who perceive it as a rabid threat. Just as the situation escalates and the dog faces impending danger, it manages to find refuge in the garden of Don Salvador, a kind-hearted and elderly man. This encounter sets the stage for a deep bond to form between Fortuna and Don Salvador's grandson, Juanito, establishing a foundation of friendship and loyalty that will be vital in the unfolding events of the story.
