While Bob is at school she gives Rowdy to the milkman, who carries him off in triumph. Bob returns from school and his first thought is of his pet. He calls and whistles, but Rowdy does not respond. After a vain search through the house he tries the street. Here he is informed of his mother's transaction with the milkman by his little friend next door. Bob at once prepares to trail his four-footed pal. From a bill in the kitchen he learns the milkman's address, then he breaks open his savings bank, takes his savings, and starts on his journey. He finally locates the milkman's house and after he whistles and calls for a few minutes, Rowdy rushes pell-mell into his arms., trailing a broken rope as evidence of his struggle to answer his master's call. Bob now decides to lay his course to the wild and woolly West. Nobody loves him and his dog so they might as well go away. He stops at a small post office and writes a postal card to his parents, saying that he and Rowdy are on their way out West to catch bears for the zoo and bids them farewell. Not wishing to cause them unnecessary worry, he sends the card by special delivery and trudges on his way. Meanwhile, the household has been thrown into an uproar over Bob's disappearance and a thorough search fails to uncover any clue. Suddenly a boy delivers the postal card, and with the postmark for a clue, the parents hurry away in their automobile. At the post office they learn that Bob was there and hurry away in the direction he was last seen going. Bob, unaccustomed to long trips afoot, soon becomes tuckered out and toward sunset he succumbs to fatigue and stops to rest. A few minutes later he is sound asleep by the roadside with faithful Rowdy keeping watch over him. Here his parents find him. All is forgiven and they hustle him into the automobile, leaving poor Rowdy out in the cold, but Bob refuses to desert his little comrade and a compromise is affected by a promise to Bob to restore Rowdy to his former position as a member of the household.
