I saw him fall. I ran on by. Reaching the dogfight, I saw the big hound was almost gone.
He had long since ceased fighting. His body lay stretched full-length on the ground.
I grabbed Old Dan’s collar and pulled him back. It was different with Little Ann.
Pull as I might, she wouldn’t let go of the hound’s throat.
Her jaws were locked. I turned Old Dan loose and, getting astraddle of Little Ann, I pried her jaws apart with my hands.
Old Dan had darted back in. Grabbing his collar again, I pulled them off to one side.
The blue hound lay where he was. I thought perhaps he was already dead, and then I saw him move a little.
Still holding my dogs by their collars, I looked back.
I couldn’t understand what I saw. Rubin was laying where he had fallen.
His back was toward me, and his body was bent in a “U” shape.
Rainie was standing on the other side of him, staring down.
I hollered and asked Rainie, “What’s the matter?” He didn’t answer.
