I
was
an
hour
moving
my
feet--a
hair's-breadth
at
a
time--till
they
were
so
that
I
could
sleep
in
comfort;
and
I
was
awakened
several
times
during
the
night
by
angry
snarls
from
the
Dog--I
suppose
because
I
dared
to
move
a
toe
without
his
approval,
though
once
I
believe
he
did
it
simply
because
I
was
snoring.
In
the
morning
I
was
ready
to
get
up
before
Snap
was.
You
see,
I
call
him
Snap-Ginger-snap
in
full.
Some
Dogs
are
hard
to
name,
and
some
do
not
seem
to
need
it--they
name
themselves.
I
was
ready
to
rise
at
seven.
Snap
was
not
ready
till
eight,
so
we
rose
at
eight.
He
had
little
to
say
to
the
man
who
made
the
fire.
He
allowed
me
to
dress
without
doing
it
on
the
table.
As
I
left
the
room
to
get
breakfast,
I
remarked:
"Snap,
my
friend,
some
men
would
whip
you
into
a
different
way,
but
I
think
I
know
a
better
plan.
The
doctors
nowadays
favor
the
'no-breakfast
cure.'
I
shall
try
that."
It
seemed
cruel,
but
I
left
him
without
food
all
day.
It
cost
me
something
to
repaint
the
door
where
he
scratched
it,
but
at
night
he
was
quite
ready
to
accept
a
little
food
at
my
hands.
In
a
week
we
were
very
good
friends.
He
would
sleep
on
my
bed
now
and
allow
me
to
move
my
feet
without
snapping
at
them,
intent
to
do
me
serious
bodily
harm.
The
no-breakfast
cure
had
worked
wonders;
in
three
months
we
were--well,
simply
man
and
Dog,
and
he
amply
justified
the
telegram
he
came
with.
