Explanation:

In the story "Stray," Doris finds a puppy that is lost while a snow storm is going on. She decides to take the puppy home to protect him from the cold, but she knows that her parents are not going to let her keep it. As the days go by, however, she becomes more attached to the dog. Eventually the snow clears and the father takes the dog to the pound. However, while he is there, he changes his mind. He tells us that the pound is the "worst looking place i've ever seen," and that he "wouldn't leave an ant in that place." Therefore, in the end, the family keeps the dog.
