Rowdy Comes Home

21 grudnia 1912    28 minShort, Komedia,
Mr. and Mrs. Norman have a dog, Rowdy, to whom they are devoted. But after the birth of her first baby, Mrs. Norman listens to the stories of the mild who fears all dogs. She tells the anxious mother that dogs are treacherous, particularly when there are children about. Believing this may possibly be the case with Rowdy, Mrs. Norman persuades her husband to send the faithful little fellow away. Mr. Norman gives the dog over to the care of a farmer. That night Rowdy breaks loose and runs back home. Mr. Norman is overjoyed to see him, but his wife insists that he take the dog back next day. This is done, the farmer assuring Norman that Rowdy will not he able to get away again. That afternoon, the maid takes the baby out to the park in its carriage. She meets her sweetheart, and leaving the carriage in a secluded spot they start off for a little walk. About this time Rowdy breaks loose again and starts for home. Some dry autumn leaves on the ground near the baby's carriage catch fire. The dog passes through the park on his way home. He recognizes the carriage and jumps up to see that the flames have almost reached its coverings. He dashes home and when he finds Mr. Norman he barks and shows so evidently that something is wrong, that his master finally follows him to the park. They arrive just in time for the father to rescue his baby from the flames that are now burning away the carriage draperies. Baby is carried home and Rowdy follows. When she hears the story, Mrs. Norman once again puts her faith in the dog and willingly agrees that he may stay home. The maid comes in a few moments later, all excited over the disappearance of the child and the burned carriage, and she is at once dismissed.
