200 miles now behind them. They run into farmer James and his wife Neil.
She thought the Old Dog was homely. She guessed him to be around 11 years old. James took care of Luath removing the quills. For safety, they were locked into the barn but thankfully Tao was able to free them to continue their journey into the mountains where Bodger is ever growing weaker.
Ahead is still another 50 miles :o

Remembering how good porcupine tasted the Young Dog tried his hand at this porcupine but to find himself with some painful quills in his cheek.

The three leave the old man and venture off after eating the rabbit the Young Dog hid.
The travel along the river and finally the Young Dog convinces them to cross. The Dam breaks and The Cat is lost down stream. He is found by a little girl Helvi and taken care of by the family. Once better The Cat left to find the boys.
The writing is very detailed about the surrounding area that they are traveling through.

On their travels it is very hard on the old dog but they at times travel 15 miles.
The young dog had caught a rabbit but they ran into an the old man with a hat tramping through the forest. He removed his hat in greeting but did not stop.
Once at his cabin a chipmunk emerged and scampered up to his shoulder. This made me smile. He shared his stew with all of them.

Then I fell asleep 💤lol

The old dog has this urge to go home to his master. Along with him is the Lab and cat.
This begins the journey where they encounter a Cub and Mama bear. The old dog encounters injuries and is physically a mess. Luckily they run into a tribe of Ojibway to take care of the old dog and cat. The young dog overseas what is happening.

Start out with how Longridge becomes the owner of three nine months ago. The serene surroundings did not take long for them to adjust and Mrs Oaks to win over with a few morsels.

This editions has some remarkable detailed sketches in it.
