And while we're on the subject of "zhuchka," we might recall that "Zhuchka"
is the name of the missing dog in Dostoevsky's _The Brothers Karamazov_.
This dog, now with a new name ("Perezvon"), is "miraculously" restored to
the dying boy Ilyushechka by the proud adolescent, Kolya Krasotkin, before
the adoring eyes of a modest lad named Smurov (See Book 10, Chapters 4-5).
