He got up on a trimming table,
then posed, then went back to the
run. But this was different. All
the dogs ran around freely, picking
various things out of a big basket
by the fireplace, and playing games
with them. He watched, and won

"You feeling hungry now?"
asked the woman after a while.
She put down a bowl, and just
. to please her, he ate the whole
meal, and polished the dish 50 it
wouldn't have to be cleaned. Then
he felt well enough to move slowly
to the water bowl and take a long
drink, establishing his right to do
so. Pretty good water, not as
good as in the kennel, but all right.
She let him out and he cruised
carefully around the yard, bigger
than any exercise ring in the world,
and really rather fine. When she
opened the door he came right
back in, and he saw a couple of
the dogs sitting up on the sofa.
This was a strange place.
He thought about that for
awhile and then ventured to get
up too, and it was fine and soft
to lie on. He was fearfully tired
now. Confused, anxious, lost, his
heart beat slowly. his leg was stiff.

was his Master? Here it was
night, he was not in his kennel,
not at a show. 1t was too much.
Paw by paw, he crept out of the
room, found the scent of the wom-
an and followed it. He knew how
to climb stairs, he did that at in
door shows in the past. He heard
her breathing upstairs in the front
room. Dusty went up to the door
and scratched at it and-it opened
and he moved across the soft thick

He rushed to the gate, fearful,

his muzzle! They all went with
the woman into the house, un-
leashed.
The others were bounding
against the woman, dashing off to
bring favorite bones from hiding
places obvious to anybody's nose.

yawning delicately. They Kissed

gesture than anything else.
The house was full of confusion
and noise and the good smell of
chopped beef drifting from a pack

dishing out bowls of it. She
looked at his wistful eyes. This
is your own bowl" she said, "the
blue one. For always"
He could never have imagined
a life like this, never.
But now, suddenly, he knew it
was all his. He began to run in

was that box of treasures - clean
old bones, leather shoes, knotted
woolen socks! He whirled past it,
checked his mad flight, nose-dived
and came up with a red ball.

in the other room by the stove

Dusty got on the bed, and her
hand was warm and comfortable
