This chapter opens with a description of a "fury little puppy" . It's not a dog, but rather a "ratty little puppy." The puppy is full of life, activity, and "barking at everything." The dog asks the dog why the dog is bothering him, and the dog says it's because he's busy. The dog tells the dog that the enemy troops are on the move, and that they're planning a major offensive. He says that he'll be able to get to his medical unit in time to treat the wounded. He tells the puppy not to give up on him, because he hasn't given up on her. The puppy says she'll wait for him.
