Overview: Far down in a hole in the snow lay Allarm. He was so bitten that he could not jump to his feet and, when Viggo lifted him, the blood dripped down on the white snow. His whole body shivered and shook like an aspen leaf, but he licked Viggo’s hand.
Just then Old Hans the Grenadier stood by Viggo’s side. When he had gained his breath after his hurried run, the old man cried very angrily, “If I did what you deserve I should have to whip you, you little cub. Shame on you! Do you think it fit for a youngster like you to rush against a pack of wolves? If they had eaten you up alive before you had a chance to make a sound, what would you have said then?”
“Then I would have said, ‘One thing is a shame, and that is to turn your back before “retreat” is called,'” said Viggo, and looked sharply at the Grenadier.
“Well said, my boy! The nose has not quite the right curve yet, but the eyes are there, and I do believe the heart too,” said Old Hans. He took the dog from Viggo and went home with both of them.
