The central conflict is an ownership dispute over Lucy. Mr. Teller insists on reclaiming his dog, while June and Sylvio refuse to give her up because they have cared for and become attached to her. It’s an external (man vs. man) conflict that also raises the tension between legal/property claims and emotional attachment — Lucy having grown from a puppy into a dog increases the characters’ stake in the outcome.
