Brian catches a northern pike and guts it. He goes to sleep and is awaken by a whimper.It is a an injured dog with a big gash in it's side. It is a female dog and Brian talks to her while he stitches up the wound. He feels as if he has seen this type of dog before, possibly one of the Cree trapper's dog who he found when he was rescued. Brian sleeps by the dog for the rest of the night and wakes up to go hunting for some meat for the dog. He shoots and rabbit with his bow and arrow and takes it back to his camp. Brian and the dog both eat fish and rabbit. He doesn't know how the dog was injured but I have a feeling he is going to find out.
"You're such a tough dog. I couldn't take this, I know. You must have tough genes, a tough mother and a tough father, to take this pulling and pushing and poking" Brian says this to the dog while he is stitching up it's wound. He calms the animal by talking and he can tell that she likes him.
I can relate to this because I have two dogs and know if I ever saw one of them wounded that badly, I would try and help them as much as possible. I wouldn't stitch them up myself but I would try to get them to a vet as soon as possible. I can't stand the thought of any of my dogs getting hurt, I would be very upset.
