Roy Beeman visited Dale that October and told that Dale's friend in Snowdrop had not been able to keep Pedro.

He broke a chain and scaled a ten-foot fence to escape.

He trailed Dale to Show Down, where one of Dale's friends, recognizing the hound, caught him, and meant to keep him until Dale's return.

But Pedro refused to eat.

It happened that a freighter was going out to the Beeman camp, and Dale's friend boxed Pedro up and put him on the wagon.
