An old example of the difference punctuation can make:

1. Woman! Without her, man is a savage.

2. Woman, without her man, is a savage.

Ann Barnhardt had a slightly different take on punctuation saving lives:

"Let's eat Grandma!" vs.

"Let's eat, Grandma!"

In little barry’s case, it comes out “let’s eat, Dog.” or “Let’s eat dog.”
