Bruce gave them some cookies and milk, and they had a little
play-party. But, when it came time for Bunny and Sue to go home, they
thought of Splash again.
"I wonder if he'll be there waiting for us," said Sue, as they came
within sight of their Grandpa Brown's house.
"I hope so," said Bunny.
But no Splash was there, and he had not been seen since early morning,
before Bunny and Sue went sailing on the duck pond.
"Oh, dear!" sighed Sue. "Splash has run away. He's lost!"
"Dogs can't get lost!" Bunny declared.
"Yes, he is too lost," and tears came into Sue's eyes.
CHAPTER XVI
GETTING THE TENTS
Bunny Brown himself thought it was strange that Splash was not about to
greet him and his sister as they came home from play. The big shaggy
dog, that had once pulled Sue from the water, was very fond of the
children, and if he did not go with them (which he did nearly every
time) he was always waiting for them to come back.
But this time Splash was not to be seen. Bunny went about the yard,
whistling, while Sue called:
"Splash! Here, Splash! I want you! Come here, Splash!"
But the joyful bark of Splash was not heard, nor did he come bounding
around the side of the house, to play with Bunny Brown and his sister
Sue, when they called.
