Example: Sometimes works of fiction are remembered afterward as events that happened to real people. That is the case here — the 1930 Colette short story La Chienne (The Bitch) has become an urban legend in that its plot is often now related to a string of events that befell someone the teller almost knows (his sister's best friend's mechanic, in other words). In La Chienne, a soldier on leave during World War I takes his fianceé's dog for a walk. The pooch immediately leads him to a strange house wherein (it is implied) the girl is in the arms of her other lover. A typical adulterer caught legend, this one features the irony of man's best friend revealing human infidelity.
