One of the children withdraws this and bandages the foot with a handkerchief, whereupon the dog returns to his master, a peddler. Seeking the hiding place of a squirrel the oldest of the three children falls from a tree and lies there unconscious. The shades of night are gathering fast and the other children are making every effort to locate their brother, but in vain, and with heavy hearts and tear-dimmed eyes they return to the anxious mother and relate their experiences. The neighborhood is all agitation in a few moments and all join in search of the missing lad. A peddler happening along seeks the cause of the excitement and offers his dog as assistance. The other little ones recognize the dog and, showing the animal the handkerchief, the dog is off in quest of the one who served him so kindly. All follow into the woods and, with lighted torches, they seek the lad. The dog, however, is the successful one, and soon leads the anxious father to his son. Returning home with the lad all are overjoyed, and the father wishes to reward the peddler, but he accepts nothing, as he maintains that the obligation rests upon him for the kindness of the boy towards the dog.
