He has his own bedroom and private marble bath, his own servants, his private chef, etc. In stern contrast with the beautiful dog's luxurious life, there is shown the daily routine of little "Benny," a 12-year-old waif who is putting up a gallant struggle to keep his independence and make a bare living. Benny lives at 22 Mangen's Alley. His home is a barrel in a protected comer, his bed straw, his bath a nearby horse trough. Times have been hard, and he is forced to go seeking in refuse cans at back doors for something to stay the pangs of hunger, and fortunately for him, Lord Barry's appetite has been poor that morning, and Benny makes a glorious feast on some chops Lord Barry has disdained to touch. Later the dog jumps out of the automobile to chase a cat that has directed some insulting remark at him, from a nearby fence, and before his mistress can stop and get out of the car, she has lost her dog, and returns home weeping after a fruitless search. Lord Barry falls into the hands of young rowdies, who tie cans to his tall, and chase him through the alleys of the town. He is rescued by Benny, who wages battle for the terror-stricken dog and finally takes him home to his barrel and shares roof. Barry's mistress has finally gone into mourning for her lost pet, but picking up a fainting lad in rags on a street corner and taking him to the home, whose address he gives, she finds Lord Barry, who refuses to accompany her home without Benny. Benny is installed in the luxurious home and a new life is opened for him. A new purpose and a broader view is given to Lord Barry's mistress by the ragged little boy, who exclaimed upon seeing Lord Barry's luxurious home: "Gee, it's great to be a dog."
