Story about a puppy who wanted a boy for Christmas. "Finding a boy was not quite as

easy as the sprightly little dog thought, and after being emphatically discouraged by a

variety of pedigreed pets, it was a sad little Petey who peered, one Christmas evening,

through the lighted window of the orphanage. No, Petey doesn't get a boy--he gets fifty."
