The Underground Man and the Underground Man's dog, "Puppy," are having a sex-like moment. The two of them have been having sex for a long time, but now they're in the middle of a war, and they need to get away from each other. They've been hanging out together for a while, and now it's time for them to get out. The dog says he doesn't understand what's going on, but he's not sure why. He's also not sure if they'll be able to stick together for the rest of the war, but at least they won't be tempted to kill each other, he says.
