Chapter Summary[]
Lucky's Point of View[]
- The Leashed Dogs plead Lucky to help Alfie. Lucky asks them who Alfie is and they explain that he is another Leashed Dog. Martha and Bella start to talk about him like he is already dead and Lucky says they can still save him. Nobody else agrees to help except for Bruno.
- Lucky and Bruno walk to Alfie's house and Lucky swears to leave after he saves Alfie. When the two dogs get to Alfie's house, Lucky notices a tree that is at an odd angle in a grassy area next to the house.
- Bruno calls to Alfie but is not heard. Lucky spots a broken window and decides to use that as a way in. There was some wire mesh on the window making it hard for Lucky and Bruno to get through. They tried to tear the mesh but it kept hurting their gums.
- Lucky has an idea. Just then Bruno warns Lucky about a falling tree. Lucky jumps out of the way before the tree crashed on him. Then Lucky runs toward Bella's house. The other Leashed Dogs bark at him but Lucky ignores them and goes in. He grabs a soft-hide from Bella's house and returns to the window at Alfie's house.
- Lucky and Bruno use the soft-hide to help tear the mesh by putting it in their mouths so they won't cut their gums. The plan works and Lucky and Bruno go into the house. They find Alfie trapped behind some sitting-boxes and get him out. Lucky and Bruno lead Alfie out of the house. Alfie feels bad for his longpaws since their house fell down.
- Bruno introduces Lucky to Alfie. Lucky, Bruno and Alfie walk over to the Leashed Dogs. The Leashed Dogs look guilty that they had not helped Alfie. Sunshine is the first to welcome them.
- The Leashed Dogs begin to argue over who wanted to leave Alfie and who did not. Alfie asks Bella if she really wanted to leave him and the dogs fall silent. Mickey tells Alfie not to blame Bella since there were some risks in saving him.
- Lucky is sad for Bella since she wanted to leave Alfie. He thinks the dog-spirit inside of her is silent. He thinks she thinks like a longpaw. Lucky also knows that the Leashed Dogs failed their first test as a pack and they know it.
- Lucky takes Bella aside but before he can say anything, Bella says she was just thinking of the safety of the pack. He and Bella begin to argue. The argument is cut short when Sunshine asks where Daisy is since she disappeared.
