    Bug note: I'm pretty certain I'm seeing this before I've been introduced to genitive constructions...

      I agree. I haven't made it to genitive constructions and yet here I am...

        The answer was "the water of the dog" but there isn't an article before "water". I don't get it.

          Genitive phrases only can have one articlr, so the an in the middle covers both in English.
