Last but not least the daughter who had a short interaction in the story but because of her there was a whole story to even read.
If the story took place in a different place in a different setting I don’t think the father would’ve behaved the same way. Just being at his home where he can imagine where his kids would be running around with sparky probably played in the father’s head continuously.

He thought back to times when the dog wasn’t really all that bad. Although along the journey he was bad to the dog, he proved that he had a conscience and was going to right his
