This little boy found the puppy and brought him home. What do you think the parents said? "We can't keep him - we can't have a dog right now." The little boy, already in love with the puppy decided to run away. He waited until night and with the lantern in one hand, he and the puppy scrambled into the boat. Before he could unfasten the ropes, his father, who was working in the boathouse, saw the light on the water and came to investigate. "Where have you been? We've been looking everywhere for you! Your Mum and I decided you can keep the puppy after all." And they all lived happily ever after and eventually moved to New England where you can see how he grew up (down below) and now he is the older brother and a new puppy.
