- “But, Johnny,” pleads the distracted parent, “Mr. Snigsley is going to give the puppy a nice home.” “Baw!” howls Johnny. “I don’t want him to have a nice home!” This snags the conversation, leaving Snigsley to creep guiltily away, feeling like a cur. A better time to give puppies away is at two A.M., unless the dogs moan and wake up the children, who as a rule cry longer at night. The mama dog in the picture is Daisy. Daisy, while living temporarily with Painter George Hughes when her master, a neighbor, was away on a trip, had five puppies. By the time homes were found for the little ones and the beloved Daisy had returned to her own home, Hughes felt like weeping. He evolved his suppressed tears into a cover idea, and felt better.
