“Howl! Wow! Bur-r-r-r-r!” was the noise they heard.
“There they are!” said the dog lady. “Those are your lost brothers calling. Come on, Spot. I know where they are now.”
Mrs. Gurr was very good at finding lost dogs, and this time she knew just which way to go to find Don and Prince.
Soon the mother dog saw them sitting on the edge of the mud puddle, their heads held up in the air, howling as loudly as they could howl.
“Oh my! What a noise!” cried Mrs. Gurr, with a dog laugh. “What is the matter with you puppies, anyhow?”
“Oh, mamma! Is that you?” cried Don. “Oh, we got lost, and—”
“And Don fell in and swam out!” added Prince.
“Well, that was very smart of him, I’m sure,” said the mamma dog. “But it was silly of you to get lost. See, the kennel is only a little way off, just around that clump of bushes.”
Surely enough, they had been only a little way off from their home all the while, only they did not know it.
