Walter had wanted to do just that, and he took the puppy to his room.  He also carried a bowl of milk for it in case it later got hungry.  Walter spent the whole day looking after the puppy. He stroked its fur, gave it food and water, and took care of it.
The next day, the puppy was looking better. It was able to walk, and though the wound was still there, it was healing. It licked Walter’s hand and all over his face.
