Jenkins and the Mutt

Jenkins, a hen-pecked man at home and a clerk when at business, takes a liking to a dog. His wife refuses to share the affection and orders her husband to do away with the harmless fellow. Jenkins begs to feed the dog before turning him out, which the wife also refuses and tells Jenkins he will not get any supper until he has lost the intruder. Which is the reason why Jenkins starts wandering over the beautiful western country, trying every possible way to part company with the canine friend. It does not work, for even when Jenkins decides to drown the dog, the shaggy friend soon returns, with a friendly wag of the tail. So the two keep wandering over hills, mountains and vales. Realizing that having been out all night will heap more blame upon him, Jenkins becomes a regular wanderer, his dog a constant companion. Some months later, Jenkins suffers an attack of "conscience," goes back to his old home and finds there a pleasant faced woman who informs him that Mrs. Jenkins departed long before and left no address. So back to the accidentally discovered peace, Jenkins has been enjoying meantime, he returns, happy in having tried to do his duty, happier to find that he is free to wander on, the faithful dog his companion.
