The story centers on a young boy named Tony living in Naples, Italy, and revolves around his adventures with a dog named Tina. The book explores themes of friendship, honesty, and the challenges faced by a poor orphan in a vibrant yet often harsh environment. The narrative follows Tony as he initially finds Tina, a stray dog, and decides to keep her despite the objections of his guardian, Guido, the Marionette Man. Throughout their journey, Tony grapples with his mischievous nature, which often leads him into trouble as he tells lies and feigns poverty to gain sympathy. His relationship with Tina becomes central to his character development, as he learns about love, sacrifice, and ultimately the importance of truth through a series of adventures, including a feverish dream where he witnesses the destruction of Pompeii. The story culminates in Tony's realization that he must return Tina to her rightful owner, Anna, embracing honesty and the prospect of a better life filled with friendship and belonging.
