Spike The pronoun "he" in the final sentence ("Suddenly, he started barking loudly") is resolved via standard anaphora rules: antecedents are typically the most recent grammatically compatible noun phrase that also satisfies semantic plausibility. Here, "Spike, the dog" is the nearest male referent and the only entity for whom barking is a canonical action; "his kennel" further confirms the referent is the dog. Neither Tom nor Jerry fits, as the preceding clause centers on Spike's activity (watching from the kennel) and real-world knowledge (cartoon canine behavior) aligns exclusively with the dog. No discourse cues shift the focus back to Tom or Jerry.
