esa manía que tenía la perra
Juancho le había puesto esta nombre porque tenía unas grandes orejas voladoras que, miradas a contra luz, la hacían parecer una enorme y torpe mariposa morena. Y también por esa manía que tenía la perra de andar oliendo las flores como un insecto cualquiera.
(Isabel Allende 1942- "El hombre de plata")
