Tá peata ag Áine. Is madadh í. Is Jack Russell í agus Onla an t-ainm atá uirthi. Tá sí sé bliana d’aois. Rugadh í ar an chúigiú lá déag de mhí na Nollag, 2014. Tá sí bán le spotaí donna. Madadh deas séimh atá inti. Tá sí bríomhar ach cairdiúil agus cineálta. Tá sí ina cónaí i gcró sa ghairdín ar chúl an tí agus má bhíonn sé fuar nó fliuch, téann sí isteach sa chró. Nuair a thagann fear an phoist, tosaíonn sí ag tafann.

Roimh dhul ar scoil, tugann Áine babhla uisce di agus itheann Onla bia madaidh. Nuair a thagann Áine abhaile ón scoil, glacann sí Onla ar shiúlóid sna páirceanna. Don dinnéar, tugann Áine feoil di. In amanna, glacann Áine isteach sa leaba í ach níl cead aici bheith sa teach. Tá a croí istigh in Onla.
