After a while, they chained me up in a filthy yard at the back of the house, and there I thought I should go mad.

I would have liked to bite them all to death, if I had dared.

It's awful to be chained, especially for a dog like me that loves his freedom.

The flies worried me, and the noises distracted me, and my flesh would fairly creep from getting no exercise.

I was there nearly a month, while they were waiting for a reward to be offered.
