Photographed in Fort Hamilton, Brooklyn, New York on October 1 and 3, 1904. A woman brings a small boy into the backyard of a house in the suburbs. She puts him on the ground to play and returns later to find him missing. Unaware that the baby has crawled into the dog house, she admonishes a man who is putting something into a good-sized basket. He becomes frightened and begins to run. She thinks he has the baby amd chases him. As they go down the street, more and more people join the chase. They finally capture the man and all he has in the basket is a guinea pig. They return to the house and find the boy playing with the dog.
