In the chapter three, Debbie came back in the story. The name of chapter three is “Boys, Dogs, Science Fiction.” I understood that the constitution of this book, which named Criss Cross, crisscrosses in the same way as a title. Chapter three treats the story that Debbie and her younger sister Chrisanne and neighbor Tesey lay prostrate on their chaise lounges. There is specialized rule among Chrisanne and Tesey, it is that one of them must have said something to Debbie. But she does not notice they ask her, she ignores them and begins to read a book. When she finished the last page, suddenly she tosses the book down on the grass. As I read that sentences, I interpreted that book could not satisfied her. When I am also unsatisfactory, I read books well: however, a book has not satisfied my desire. That book she read is science fiction novel, it treats about telepathy. She was interested in telepathy first: however, loneliness occurred in her heart when she began to think about telepathy. I knew she should have been able to talk with boy in the middle of a normal conversation, but she does not decide this way. When she notices, her dog, Cupcake, who was is sitting in the grass a few away from her. When her neck-scratching transported him to a state of bliss and he offered her his throat for scratching, she wishes if boys could be more like dogs. For the reason that he already found everything what her interesting and important are.
I strongly sympathize with her. The impatience, which is important to find what I want to do, is very hard. In my expectation, her desire will be satisfied by meeting Hector. .

I think you misunderstand what the term "theme" means. It is the author's message about life. The theme can be in the small and big things that happen to characters as well as what they do or say.
When I read your summary, I see that the character doesn't finish her book, then she scratches her dog's neck, and she wishes boys were as easy to please as dogs. What does this tell you about Debbie?
She called to her dog, Cupcake, who was sitting in the grass a few feet away. He trotted over, and Debbie scratched him behind the ears and talked to him. It was easy. Cupcake hound everything she had to say interesting and important. He wanted to hear more. Her neck-scratching transported him to a state of bliss; he offered her his throat for scratching, then his belly. If boys could be more like dogs, she thought. Or Beings.
it is completely copy of the end of chapter 3.
to answer your question is very simple.
she is not satisfied by boys. but she is satisfied by Cupcake who understand herself.that is meaning she does not want boys untli then.
it is supplement of last my comment.
then she was not satisfied by boys. but it is onlu thing that She does not yet notice boys can save her in a true meaning.
