The title refers to the wife's calling for a lost puppy, yet it is clear that hers is in truth a cri de coeur for the unassuageable pain of growing old before she has even grown up. If this is the heartland, it is as seen by Freud: the husband lusts after the girl and fantasizes about her as the virtuous virgin that his wife was not; the wife acts kittenish even with the milkman; the girl selects lovers...
