"That Pup" by Ellis Parker Butler is a funny narrative set in a close-knit neighborhood, centering on a dog named Fluff and the shenanigans he inspires. Murchison, a neighbor, unexpectedly becomes Fluff's caretaker and grapples with Fluff's disruptive howling and goofy behavior. The story follows Murchison, Brownlee, and Massett as they comically try to figure out Fluff's breed and train him. Their plans go awry, as the dog is known for his bizarre antics, especially when fleeing from any sign of a gun. The story explores ideas about friendship with animals, the obligations of having a pet, and the ups and downs that come with it, all told in a light and funny way.
