Chapter 10- Excitement was sweeping over the Hunter family Elizabeth, Peter and Mr. and Mrs. Hunter were happy to be on the way back to their homeland, their friends, their home and of course their pets; but they would soon realize that comming home was not what they would have expected. Poor Mr. Longridge and Mrs. Oakes were pacing and worying and wondering what had happened to the animals. Later on that night Mr. Longridge came up with a theory of were they were going and why, whitch was true, but as he explaned it to Mrs. Oakes she did not have enough faith in the animals to proove the theory true and Mr. Longridge was realizing the fault in it too. They would have died of starvetion or been eaten by a bear or at least drowened. They stayed up almost all night calling people and figuring out the route the animals would have taken trying to avoid having to be the bearrer of bad news to the Hunter family. That night John Longridge was laying awake in bed imagining the uncomfortable, unwelcoming pushing and shoving of the old dog`s lazy body on the bed but tonight it was not there and he had no other choise but to miss it. If only you would come back! he said lovingly and sad to the dark of the night.
