especially after his masters put a pair of their goggles on him
to keep the stinging, alkali dust out of his eyes. Riding in
front, Bud learned to watch the road ahead as intently as
Crocker and Jackson, bracing himself for every bump and turn --
and becoming, his owner said, "the one member of our trio who
used no profanity on the entire trip." |
