She told her to bring back the dog until she would see him. When the girl brought back the dog, her sister told her that it wasn't a dog at all, but a man, and she told her the rest of he story. Then the girl changed the dog into a man and gave him a bottle and told him to sprinkle what was in the bottle into his wife's face, and that she would change into a horse.
