I felt sorry for the unfortunate one. I knew if something wasn’t done quickly the sanitation department would have to pick up a dead dog.
I was trying to make up my mind to help when I got a surprise. Up out of that snarling, growling, slashing mass reared an old redbone hound.
For a second I saw him. I caught my breath. I couldn’t believe what I had seen.
Twisting and slashing, he fought his way through the pack and backed up under the low branches of a hedge.
Growling and snarling, they formed a halfmoon circle around him.
A big bird dog, bolder than the others, darted in. The hedge shook as he tangled with the hound.
He came out so fast he fell over backwards. I saw that his right ear was split wide open.
It was too much for him and he took off down the street, squalling like a scalded cat.
A big ugly cur tried his luck. He didn’t get off so easy. He came out with his left shoulder laid open to the bone.
He sat down on his rear and let the world know that he had been hurt. By this time, my fighting blood was boiling.
It’s hard for a man to stand and watch an old hound fight against such odds, especially if that man has memories in his heart like I had in mine.
I had seen the time when an old hound like that had given his life so that I might live.
