Spike The pronoun "he" in the final sentence anaphorically refers to the most salient antecedent from the discourse context: "Spike, the dog" (the only entity described as being in a kennel and the only one for which barking is a typical, coherent action). Pronoun resolution follows standard centering theory and coherence constraints (e.g., Hobbs 1978; Kehler 2002), where the subject of the immediately preceding clause is preferentially continued unless semantic or world-knowledge cues dictate otherwise; here both point unambiguously to Spike.
