In going he had left behind Mosina as a rear-guard to cover his retreat or to stay the invaders' advance until he could reach the nearest spot available to a hasty man.
So we adopted this theory as to why Mosina was in the bulrushes, and in honor of her Wanderobo associations we again changed her name to "Little Wanderobo Dog." So far as I know, she is the only dog in history who has had three separate and distinct names within two hours.

Of course, there are people who have called dogs more than three different names in much less time, but they were not Christian names.

One of the bachelor members of the committee, who is known to be a woman-hater, conferred the honorary title of the pronoun "he" on Little Wanderobo Dog, and she has been "he" ever since.

But not without a bitter fight by those of the committee who think the pronoun "she" is infinitely more to be admired.
Little Wanderobo Dog did not wait to be adopted.

He adopted us, but not ostentatiously at first--just a friendly wag here and there to show that he had at last found what he was looking for.
