The title, "What Anne brought home," points to a homecoming, with something carried back and set down in the middle of an ordinary day. It is not clear from the record whether Anne is a person or the dog, and that open question is part of the picture's appeal. Dog images from the 1930s often showed animals as working companions and members of the household rather than show animals, and candid scenes like this one were popular with viewers of the period. Look at the animal's posture and the setting for clues about the relationship.
