[CHAPTER IV]
DON SEES TUM TUM
Don hardly knew what to think when Bob, his boyish master, called to him that way. The little dog had not lived long enough in the world to know much about bulls jumping fences. But he could easily tell that Bob’s sister, Sallie, was very much frightened. A dog can tell very quickly when a person is frightened, or glad, or cross.
“Come on, Don!” cried Bob, as he ran as fast as he could.
“Where are you going?” asked Sallie. “Oh, Bob! Don’t you know the bad black bull is loose?”
“Yes, of course I know it,” answered Bob. “And that’s where I’m going.”
“What! Not to the bull, are you?” asked Sallie.
“That’s just where I’m going,” said Bob.
“But he’ll hook you with his horns, and maybe—maybe he’ll step on you!” exclaimed Sallie. “Listen to him call!”
