Reread lines 40–49 from "Stray" below. How is this part of the story important to the whole? "Even after a week had gone by, Doris didn't name the dog. She knew her parents wouldn't let her keep it, that her father made so little money any pets were out of the question, and that the pup would definitely go to the pound when the weather cleared. Still, she tried talking to them about the dog at dinner one night. "She's a good dog, isn't she?" Doris said, hoping one of them would agree with her. Her parents glanced at each other and went on eating." She's not much trouble," Doris added. "I like her." She smiled at them, but they continued to ignore her." *
