This is a quick summary of A Dark Brown Dog by Stephen Crane. This channel discusses and reviews books, novels, and short stories through drawing...poorly.

Transcript: This is a story about a boy who finds a stray brown dog on the streets. The dog follows the boy home, despite the boy repeatedly hitting the dog.

Eventually, the boy and the dog become friends, but the boy’s family start abusing the dog when the boy is not around. The dog is accepted as a member of the family after a family vote, but the abuse to the dog from the family continues. However, the boy yells when he sees the family abuse the dog so the family stops the abuse.

One night, the boy’s father is drunk and grabs the dog even as the boy protests.

In the end, the boy’s father throws the dog out the window and the dog dies as the boy mourns over his bloody body on the street.
