It's good to give a stray animal a home.
Tom comes home and finds a stray puppy near his front door, excited to see him, but Tom can't take any animals in.
Tom wants the puppy to have shelter.
Tom puts the puppy in a shed and posts adoption flyers over town for the puppy.
Tom takes the puppy and drops it off under the awning of a car wash to keep it dry.
The puppy's owner sees the flyers and picks up the puppy.
The puppy runs off, gets lost in the woods, and dies of starvation.
