And oh! I'm hungry!" "Bo, our host will soon have need of his hunting abilities if your appetite holds," said Helen, as she tried to keep her hair out of her eyes while she laced her boots.
"Look! there's a big dog--a hound." Helen looked as Bo directed, and saw a hound of unusually large proportions, black and tan in color, with long, drooping ears.

Curiously he trotted nearer to the door of their hut and then stopped to gaze at them.

His head was noble, his eyes shone dark and sad.

He seemed neither friendly nor unfriendly.
"Hello, doggie! Come right in--we won't hurt you," called Bo, but without enthusiasm.
This made Helen laugh.

"Bo, you're simply delicious," she said.
