I feel the same way myself.

But it isn't the dog's fault.
It's the woman's.

And Patsy won't make a fool of herself over that frowsy puppy, I assure you.

On the contrary, she's likely to get a lot of joy out of her new plaything, and if you really want to make her happy, Major, don't discourage this new whim, absurd as it seems.

Let Patsy alone.
