Storyline
Plot Summary |
Mrs. Deville's daughter Florence gives her a bull terrier named Baxter as a surprise present. Although she's afraid of him, she doesn't want to give him away because she feels lonely. But Baxter has his own ideas - he longs to be dominated, to be challenged - and so he isn't content with his boring life with the old woman. To get rid of her, he causes an accident. It works, and he's given to the neighbors, a young couple. He's happy...for a while. When they get a baby, he again takes action.

Quotes |
Baxter:
[referring to the old woman]
I don't know what she wants. She gives no order. She asks nothing of me, except for boring things like staying beside her. See more » |
