In the home where Cindy lives, no dogs are allowed, so she must bundle puppy up when she goes to work as a cleaning woman in the Hospice. One patient is so blind with illness that he can barely see the dog; it looks like a smudge.
But, oh, how nice to hold the puppy. What is Cindy to do? How will she care for Smudge?
