Rowdy and His New Pal (1912)
Bob is sent on an errand, leaving Rowdy on the porch with orders to stay there, but the temptation is too great, so Rowdy disobeys and follows. However, among the crowds Rowdy loses the scent and is soon hopelessly lost. Several newsboys, realizing this, grab Rowdy and start to abuse him. He is rescued by Pietro, also a newsboy, who takes him to his little shanty and shares his bed and board with the homeless pup. In the meantime poor Bob is disconsolate. Rowdy takes kindly to his new home and his pal, but one morning Pietro finds himself too ill to get up and work. Rowdy tries to rouse him, but finding this of no use, decides to provide for his sick protector, so visits the neighboring houses and soon returns with a stolen loaf of bread. A bottle of milk is the next contribution. In the meantime the neighbors aroused at having their bread and milk stolen, decide to watch for the thief. Rowdy is detected and followed to the shack and there in the midst of the stolen plunder, Pietro is found weak and exhausted. An ambulance is called and Pietro is hurried to the hospital. Bob and his father passing by are just in time to see Rowdy enter the ambulance and in company with the officer hurry to the hospital. Here a happy reunion of Bob and Rowdy takes place and Bob's father, hearing of Pietro's lonely existence, offers to take him home. He accepts.
