File 'my canines' sounds more English - Mardle, Jan 27, 2016
Just "looked like a dog's" without the "has" sounds more natural. - AnnRon, Jan 27, 2016

It was the dog days of summer, he was about to return to school, and she was a bit of a dog, but there were no other options, and dog that he was, he hounded her doggedly until she gave in.

Era las los días más calurosos y húmedos del verano, estuvo estaba a punto de volver a la universidad, y ella era un poco fea, pero no había otras opciones, y canalla que él era, la persiguió con determinación hasta que ella cedió.

I recognize hounded her doggedly is redundant, but I did it anyway. No idea if ceder is the right verb for this connotation. Suggestions welcome.
