Tom saved a half grown little female dog treed by javelinas. She was full of fight, so he named her Ginger. She was smart, they became friends, and she fell for Baby Lou. A mix breed, she was full grown in months. Scratched on the nose saving Lou from a rattler, Tom took her to town on the buckboard. Doc saved the heroic dog, no charge. Meanwhile, Baby Lou disappeared. Ginger trailed across the prairie, saved her from a coyote. Knowing they'd return, she dug a hole in a cut bank, defended the entrance from the pack, until Tom and his neighbors came whooping down the arroyo.
