Plot

Ivan Ivanovich, an older man who is fond of reading and nature, buys a puppy despite the dog's improper coloration and black ear, which are considered faults in terms of its breed standard. The man names his dog Bim (diminutive form: Bimka), and often takes him in the country to enable the dog to track birds, as is his nature. Ivan Ivanovich begins to develop heart problems, and when the disease becomes worse, is taken to a hospital. His dog cannot bear waiting for the only person that ever cared for him, and sets out to find his master. Thus begins the story of a stray dog and his adventures and encounters with many people, both kind and cruel. Ultimately, he is unable to find a permanent home. His owner returns home only to discover that Bim has been tricked by a perfidious neighbor and died.
