Harry is a boy with a learning disability. On his fourth birthday, he was given a pug called Millie. Two weeks after the dog's arrival, he was happier and calmer and said his first words, "dog" and "mummy". Just two months later, thieves stole the dog, and now the heartbroken little boy is back to where he started. He has refused to talk since losing his best friend. His mother was worried and gave him another dog, but he just "pushed it away". Mrs Hainsworth, his mother, says, "My son is very sad. He'll go over to her cage and just beat on the bars. There is no word coming out, but you just know he's screaming 'Where is Millie' inside. Millie was really his best friend. They would play together happily for hours. None of his toys has ever held his attention that long. Now he has just completely turned quiet again. "Harry suffers from a condition which affects his ability to speak and move. But the dog's being with him achieved more in days than months of speech therapy and physiotherapy had. Mrs Hainsworth says, "My son was so happy when he saw Millie. Being with Millie changed him, and within two weeks he had said his first words and was working on saying 'dad'. Just last week, his teachers and I were saying how much Millie had helped him. And now this!" Mrs Hainsworth is considering buying another pug in the hope that her son will accept it. Maureen Hennis of the charity, Pets as Therapy, says she has seen many cases of dogs helping people with speech problems. "People may talk to a dog when they wouldn't like to talk to another human," she says. "A dog doesn't care if words come out wrong."

CHAPTER XXIV 

A WAR OF WORDS 

The knowledge that Professor Lemm, Slugger Brown and Nappy Martell were approaching the cabins on the upper end of Snowshoe Island filled the Rover boys with wonder. 

"Professor Lemm must have come to see Uncle Barney about those deeds," remarked Randy. 

"I wonder if that is Slugger's father with him?" broke in Fred. 

"Maybe," answered Jack. "Those men were the only two who were interested in getting possession of this island." 

"I'll tell you what I think we ought to do!" exclaimed Andy. 

"What?" came from the others quickly. 

"I think we ought to go back to our own cabin and arm ourselves." 

"That might not be such a bad idea, Andy," returned Jack. "Those men, backed up by Slugger and Nappy, may want to carry things with a high hand." 

Acting on Andy's suggestion, the four boys retreated to the cabin which they had just left, and each took possession of his weapon. 

"I don't think they'll try much rough-house work when they see how we are armed," remarked Randy grimly. 

"Of course, we don't want to do any shooting," cautioned Jack. "We only want to scare them, in case they go too far." 

"Jack, you had better be the spokesman for the crowd," remarked Randy. "You go ahead and talk to them, and we'll stand back with our guns." 

Still holding his rifle, Jack went forward again, and in a moment more found himself confronted by Asa Lemm and the man who was with him.

Johnny and his class were looking forward to a fun day in art class. The teacher gave the class paint, brushes and other items to use to make their drawings. Johnny's friend Kevin used a straw to blow paint on his paper. It looked very cool. Lisa used markers to make a picture of her and her dog. Lisa has several pets, but her favorite one is her dog, Ben. Tony used a potato to make stars. He then put the potato into different colors of paint and made a nice pattern. Johnny used feathers to make his picture. When they had finished, the class chose which picture was the best. Johnny got second place and was very excited. Then it was time for lunch and the class had a party. They had hamburgers with ketchup and had cake for dessert. It was a very fun day for the whole class. They all went home tired and happy. Johnny took a nap when he went home.
