Whenever our loose horses got off the trail or lagged behind, the services of our dog were invaluable. Zoega had a particular way of directing his attention to the errant animal. "Hur-r-r-r! Backing of ears to frighten him, or kicks at his head, had no terrors for him; he was altogether too sagacious to be caught within reach of dangerous weapons.
'Let Dan carry 'em up now, says Dame Peckaby, 'and ask her about the print, and then I'll take it home along o' me. And if I go in without the answer, she'll be the first to help mother to baste me! Hi! ho! hur! hur-r-r-r!" This last exclamation was caused by his catching sight of some small animal scudding along.
He was particularly severe upon the cowardly ewes and lambs, actually driving them frantic with terror; but the old rams that stood to make fight he always passed with quiet disdain. It was in vain Zoega would hold up, and utter the most fearful cries and threats of punishment: "Hur-r-r-r! Brusa! B-r-r-r-usa!! you B-r-r-usa!!!" Never a bit could Brusa be stopped once he got fairly under way.
