Did you really find the dog on the beach?
gpt
Yes, he's a regular sea-dog! laughed the guard.
human
Poor pup! He doesn't look as if he'd had a very good time. Seems sort of thin!
gpt
Yes, he does need filling out, agreed Mr. Dalton, with a glance at Ruddy's ribs that plainly showed through the thin sides.
human
Well, we'll keep him for a day or so, anyhow.
gpt
Can't I keep him always, Dad?
human
I don't know. Better settle that with your mother, was the answer.

It's queer how even a dog that's surly and snappy to strangers will let a baby pull his tail and ears, and never so much as growl. If you like dogs I'd let Rick keep this one. You won't have any trouble about him biting Mazie.
