在我大约13岁时,我回到了宾夕法尼亚州的老家——印第安纳,养了只叫鲍恩斯的狗。那是只身份不明的流浪狗。一天放学后,他就跟我回了家。鲍恩斯似乎是那种硬毛杂种猎犬,只是皮毛是橘黄色。我们成了亲密的伙伴,我进林子找慈姑,他就在我身旁嬉戏;我做飞机模型,他就倒在我脚边打呼噜。我太喜欢他了。

一年暮夏,我去双舔溪参加童子军营。等我回家时,鲍恩斯却没有上前迎接我。我问母亲他去哪里了,她温柔地把我带进屋内,“吉姆,很遗憾,鲍恩斯不在了。”“跑了吗?”“不,孩子,他死了。”我简直无法相信。“出了什么事?”我哽咽着问。“他被咬死了。”“怎么被咬死的?”母亲望了望父亲。父亲清了清嗓子说道:“吉姆,博吉扯断了链子,跑过来咬死了他。”我顿时呆住了。博吉是邻居家的一只英国叭喇狗,平常总是套着链子,被拴在他们家后院的约100英尺长的铁丝栏杆上。

我悲愤交加,当晚彻夜未眠。第二天早上,我跑去看那只叭喇狗,希望能发现他那布满斑点的身上至少有一个又深又长的伤口。可是除了那只强壮的恶犬被拴在一条比原先更粗的链子上,我什么也没发现。每当看到可怜的鲍恩斯那座空****的狗屋,那再也用不上的毯子、食盆时,我就不禁怒火冲天,恨透了那只恶犬,因为他夺走了我最好的朋友。

终于有一天早上,我翻了壁橱,找到了那只口径22英寸的雷明顿猎枪,那是爸爸在去年圣诞节送我的。走进我们家后院,我爬上苹果树,站在高高的树干上,我看到博吉正在铁丝围栏边上闲逛。我透过瞄准器把枪口对准他,可是每次瞄准,准备击中他时,树叶就挡住了我的视线。
