no one:

literally no one:

me: in chapter 2 of The Great Gatsby, Tom buys Myrtle a dog for ten dollars. the dog is never mentioned again in the entire book. what happened to the dog? did it run away? did it die from neglect? why is the dog left ignored by the novel? surely F. Scott Fitzgerald, widely regarded as one of the greatest American authors, if not the greatest, would not ignore Chekhov’s gun, one of the most fundamental rules of storytelling? surely he would not dedicate about a dozen lines of dialogue to tthe purchase of the dog, only to never mention it again? why does Fitzgerald not talk about the dog????????????
