Little Ann came to me. I could see the pleading in her warm gray eyes.
“I’m ashamed of you, little girl,” I said. “I thought you had more sense than this.
If you let him fool you this easily, you’ll never be a coon dog.”
She whined, turned, and trotted downstream to search again for the lost trail.
I couldn’t understand. Had all the training I had given them been useless?
I knew if I waded the river they would follow me. Once on the other side, it would be easy for them to find the trail.
I didn’t want it that way. I wanted them to figure it out by themselves.
The more I thought about it, the more disgusted I became.
I sat down and buried my face in my arms. Out on the drift, Old Dan started whining.
It made me angry and I got up to scold him again. I couldn’t understand his actions.
He was running along the edge of the drift, whimpering and staring downriver.
I looked that way. I could see something swimming for the opposite shore.
