“Then, too, there is nothing that gives one more pleasure and satisfying enjoyment than watching and listening to a pack of well-trained dogs as they work out an old, difficult trail. The intensity of interest shown, the untiring persistence, the amazing ability of a cold-nosed dog, the cooperation of one dog with another, their reactions when the trail is lost, when found again, when the scent becomes dim, and when it suddenly freshens, are delightfully fascinating to observe.”

“Silent trailing was the worst drawback I found to most Airedale hunting dogs.”

“From the blood and hair at the back of the hole, it was evident that the bobcat had gone to the end and turned around to fight off the dogs. One of the dogs had gone in and faced teeth and razor-sharp claws to bring her out. There was not room for both dogs to work, side by side. Pup had a habit, in a fight of any kind, of boring in and taking all his opponent could give, for the sake of a throat hold. That is just what he had done here.
He had faced teeth and claws in a direct, frontal attack, where no strategy or maneuvering tactics could be employed. He had gone head-on into all that cat had to give, which was plenty, for the sake of getting a neck hold; and when he had got it, he had held it and dragged the bobcat out where Puse could help him kill it. The fact that the cat was dead right outside the miniature cave, showed that Pup had never released his hold.
That act, I believe, took more nerve than anything I ever saw a dog do.”
