“A rat!” Lady cried. “Upstairs in the baby’s room!”
Tramp ran inside the house. Lady pulled at her chain until it broke, then rushed upstairs to help fight the rat.
Tramp accidentally knocked over the crib as he raced after the rodent. Luckily, the baby was fine. Lady rushed in and watched over the baby while Tramp fought the rat behind the curtains. Finally, Tramp emerged and limped toward Lady, licking his paw.
Aunt Sarah came to the nursery and saw Lady and Tramp standing by the baby. “You vicious brutes!” she cried. Then she called the pound to take Tramp away. She hadn’t noticed the dead rat by the curtains.
The dogcatcher arrived and loaded Tramp into his wagon. Just then, Jim Dear and Darling came home. “What’s going on here?” Jim wondered.
Lady led Jim Dear to the nursery, and he lifted the drapes.
“A rat!” Aunt Sarah shrieked.
Outside the house, Trusty and Jock overheard Aunt Sarah scream. They realized that Tramp had been misjudged. “We’ve got to stop that wagon!” Trusty exclaimed.
They soon caught up with the dogcatcher. Trusty barked very loudly. The horses got spooked and reared. The wagon tipped over—right onto poor Trusty!
Then, Jim Dear and Lady arrived in a taxi. Lady found Tramp in the back of the overturned wagon, and they happily touched noses. Then Lady saw Trusty lying in the snow. She hurried over. He had a broken leg, but he would be all right.
By the time Christmas arrived, Trusty was doing just fine. His leg was bandaged, but he was able to walk over with Jock to visit Lady and her new family.
Jim Dear and Darling had been so grateful to Tramp for saving the baby that they asked him to live with them. Lady and Tramp had four adorable puppies, and they had never been happier.
They knew how lucky they were to have such a nice home— and such a wonderful family to share it with.
