“Seems to me I do,” answered another voice. “I wonder where it can be?”
“I’ll soon show them where it is,” thought Don. “I’ll howl again for them.”
Once more he howled and barked.
“Why the dog is in this freight car!” exclaimed the first man.
“So he is!” cried the second. “We’ll let him out. We don’t want to be carrying a dog with us.”
In a little while the door of the freight car slid open, and as soon as Don saw the first streak of daylight come in, he gave a yelp of delight.
“Now I can get out and get a drink!” he thought.
So, without stopping to say anything to the men for letting him out, except to give a short bark, which meant “Thank you!” Don jumped to the ground and ran as fast as he could. He did not care which way he went, as long as he could find some water.
“Look at that dog run!” cried one of the men.
“Yes, I guess he is badly scared,” said the other.
