“Oh, look!” cried the boys and girls. “It’s another trick!”
“No, this isn’t a trick,” said Bob. “It’s just that Don is glad to see me again, aren’t you, old fellow?”
Don barked, whined, wagged his tail and tried to do half a dozen things at once, he was so glad to see Bob again.
And Bob was so glad to get his pet dog back that he put his arms about his neck and hugged him tightly.
“Oh, Don!” cried Bob. “Where have you been all these weeks?”
Of course Don could not tell, and Bob could only guess.
“And is he really your lost dog?” asked Alice of Bob.
“He certainly is,” answered Bob, laughing. “But it is the strangest thing to find him at your party. Where did you get him?”
Then Alice told of how her pet Rex had been taken away, and how she had found him in the pound, and how Rex seemed to want Don to come home with him.
