Chapter 10?

During "fur season" Billy is excused from all chores so he can hunt every night. When he comes home in the morning, his first priority is to take care of his dogs, especially their feet. Old Dan gets into many predicaments, but Little Anne always displays her intelligence and helps him out. On one particular hunt, Old Dan, swimming after a large raccoon, follows his prey into an underwater muskrat den. When he is unable to escape, Little Anne barks and digs until Billy understands the situation and rescues Dan. The dogs know the coon is still in there, though, and they continue to work until the coon is brought out and killed. On another hunt Old Dan climbs into a hollow tree and ten feet up the trunk, emerging through a hole and onto a limb to bay at the coon he has treed, another eight feet up. Eventually Billy must climb the tree and force Old Dan back through the hole to get him down. He has to repeat the process several times and finally plug up the hole with rocks and chunks. They get their coon, though.
