Old man, Bundy, agrees to look after and walk an old dog. The dog belongs to his upstair neighbor, Miss Tyler, who named her pet Victrola, after the gramophone brand. Victrola is much like Bundy — old. Bundy continues with his life, along with routine visits once a month to the pharmacy, now accompanied by Victrola. There seems to be a power struggle between him and the dog. He doesn’t really like Miss Tyler’s pet, who only knows one trick; sit. Victrola used to have many doggy friends within the neighborhood, but his companions were turned off by his old age. Bundy’s spirit is lowered as he thinks that the same fate may happen to him. While grocery shopping one day, Bundy ties the animal outside of the shop. Other dogs rush at old Victrola, who has a heart attack and dies. When a woman asks Bundy what the dead dog’s name was, Bundy lies and says “Victor,” because he was ashamed of Victrola’s real name.
