Exposition:
The Claphams, two crazy people and their revolting dog are introduced as moving into the neighbourhood of David Parker.

The Claphams take very bad care of Monty, feeding him potato peels and scraps that make him ill. He is also covered in infectious scabs and other bits of filth.
David notices that Monty, the dog, has attempted many suicide attempts due to his depressing life with the Claphams.
David is going through his own troubles as his father has moved away. His grades are dropping, he is always in a sour mood, and is easily aggravated. His mother worries very much about him.

David starts to take responsibility for his own life. He gets a job and takes care of his dog, his grades go up, and he is in a generally better mood. Resolution:
David finally agrees to talk to his dad, and seems to have forgave him.
