PAGE

“He’s a fine dog!” cried Bob, as he patted and rubbed Don 23

He turned quickly to shake his head and horns at Don 39

Other dogs, coming to the fountain to get a drink, wanted
to take Don’s bone away from him 65

“Get out of there, dog!” cried the policeman 81

He was all tangled up in the meshes of the net, and he
fell down 99

“It’s my dog, Don, that ran away from the farm a long
while ago!” 117
