By the middle of May the desert heat was so great that the children were let out of school and the big yellow dog, little girl and her family returned to the cool forest in California for the summer. All were glad to be home to their cabin in the woods, the trees and the woods and the sky above, small and covered with the tops of trees and the clouds above.
One morning the yellow dog was gone, just as he had come. But in no time another dog, a small Sheltie, brown and black and white, came to be with the little girl. And he followed her every where she went and stayed by her side. They followed the trail that she knew. It wound around the forest to a little lake full of shiny rainbow trout. They spent hours and hours, happy hours exploring the forest and the lake and sitting and watching through the trees and listening to the sounds in the forest and feeling the cool air surrounding them.
