Cornelius the dog is a poor soul. He’s always the scapegoat and the target of mistreatment and cynicism from everyone around him. He’s a walking punching bag. There’s just one thing he’s good at, and that is… being himself.
Pes Cornelius je uboga para. Vedno je grešni kozel ter tarča izživljanja in cinizma vseh okoli sebe. Je prava hodeča boksarska vreča. Dober je le v eni stvari ... v tem, da je preprosto on sam.
