He was a little dog , a young and foolish dog , and he was terribly excited . He barked until he almost lost his breath . He did n't like the looks of Johnny Chuck 's sharp teeth . So he circled around Johnny , trying to get behind him . But Johnny turned as the dog circled , and always the little dog found those sharp teeth directly in front of him . He barked and barked , until it seemed as if he would bark his head off . Finally the little dog , who was young and foolish , grew tired of just dancing around and barking . `` Pooh ! '' said he to himself . `` He 's nothing but a Chuck ! '' Then he stopped barking and sprang straight at Johnny with an ugly growl . Johnny Chuck was ready for him and he was quicker than the little dog . His sharp teeth closed on one of the little dog 's ears , and he held on while with his stout claws he scratched and tore . The little dog , who was young and foolish and had n't yet learned how to fight , could n't get hold of Johnny Chuck anywhere . Then he tried to shake Johnny Chuck off , but he could n't , because Johnny held on to that ear with his sharp teeth . `` Kiyi-yi-yi-yi ! '' yelled the little dog , for those teeth hurt dreadfully . `` Kiyi-yi-yi-yi ! '' Over and over they rolled and tumbled , the little dog trying to get away , and Johnny Chuck holding on to the little dog 's ear . Finally Johnny had to let go to get his breath .
The little XXXXX sprang to his feet and started for home across the Green Meadows as fast as he could run .
