The Right of Way 229 



Shep could again use his leg as before, but 

 he recovered rapidly, and the petting and 

 attention- that he received from the family 

 and all who heard of his adventure was 

 enough to spoil him. 



Shep himself, however, did not seem to be 

 quite easy in his mind. In his dumb dog 

 way he seemed to be trying to tell Bennie 

 something. But his young master told him 

 as best he could that it was all right and 

 that he knew Shep would have brought 

 Buck back if any dog in the world could.
