They had to run for their lives.

KIND FRIENDS
One night, after they had had no food all day, they saw a little boy and girl on the road, and the boy and girl saw them.
They did not run away at the sight of a dog, as some boys and girls would have done.
When they saw how thin and poor the dog and cat were, they took out of their bag some bread, which they had left from dinner, and fed them.
Bow-Wow and Mew-Mew were very glad to have the food, and would have gone home with their young friends.
