Answer:
The lesson I believe the writer is trying to convey in the The L0st Dog is fairly on the nose; 'to never lose hope on something you don't know 100%. In paragraph five and six the protagonist is seen running from a group of aforementioned men, barely escaping he end up reunited with his friend Rose, ending the story with the line "[...] Never give up hope on something you haven’t found."
Now I didn't 'explain' 'cause It'd sound redundant but if you want or need to, just add on with '...which means' or '...is/that's an example of,' et cetera.
- Something along those lines at least =)
