The black threw up his slim head and whinnied, with affection clearly shining in his soft, dark eyes as he recognized his master.

As they passed the house, she saw Hylax running to and fro on the top of the wall, barking, and jumping, and wagging his tail, as if he too were conscious of the vicinity of some familiar friend. The dog evidently arrested Philaemon's attention; for he observed him closely, and long continued to look back and watch his movements.
The yard-dog, roused by his familiar footsteps, shook himself and sate down without raising any alarm: nay, when Alain lifted the latch and passed through the outer gate of the court-yard, the animal rose once more, and advanced to meet Alain, fawning and wagging his tail.

He began to think that Daisy's collar was not a success; he ought to have had a mug, or a blind man, or both; he did much better when he was left to himself.

By and by he began to have an uncomfortable idea that people were saying things about him which were not complimentary.
But the poor Dog was very hungry, and whining and wagging his tail, he tried to say: "Give me a bite of the fish and I'll go in peace." "Get out, I say!" repeated the Fisherman.
