A couple tries to rescue a stray dog run over by a car, amidst general indifference. A certain social understanding of what is good, a certain model of social responsibility that is catching on now tugs at them, and they respond. They collect the dog off the street and take it to a private clinic. The dog is too badly hit and cannot be saved. However, the two wannabe rescuers come to be involved, both financially and emotionally, in euthanizing the dog. They feel abused. Moreover, they have to also take care of the dog’s “funeral”, since that is the law. In the end, they come to feel “punished” for the good deed they attempted to do. Revolted, they throw the dog onto a heap of garbage.
