But somehow Farmer Brown 's boy could n't bring himself quite to taking such a step as getting a new dog . He felt that no other dog ever could take Bowser 's place , and in spite of the fact that he thought he had given up all hope of ever seeing Bowser again , ` way down deep inside was something which , if it were not hope , was something enough like it to keep him from getting another dog in Bowser 's place . Whenever he went about away from home , he kept an eye out for dogs in the farmyards he passed . He did it without really thinking anything about it . He had given up hope of finding Bowser , yet he was always looking for him . CHAPTER XXIII BOWSER 'S GREAT VOICE To long for home when far away Will rob of joy the brightest day . Bowser the Hound . There is as much difference in the voices of dogs as in the voices of human beings . For that matter , this is true of many of the little people who wear fur . Bowser the Hound had a wonderful , deep , clear voice , a voice that could be heard a great distance . No one who knew it would ever mistake it for the voice of any other Hound . As a rule , Bowser seldom used that great voice of his save when he was hunting some one . Then , when the scent was strong , he gave tongue so fast that you wondered how he had breath enough left to run . But now that he was a prisoner of kindness , in the home of the people who had taken him in when he had crept to their doorstep , Bowser sometimes bayed from sheer homesickness . When he was tied out in the yard , he would sometimes get to thinking of his home and long to see Farmer Brown and Mrs. Brown and especially his master , Farmer Brown 's boy . Then , when he could stand it no longer , he would open his mouth and send his great voice rolling across to the woods with a tone of mournfulness which never had been there before . But great as was Bowser 's voice , and far as it would carry , there was none who knew him to hear it , save Blacky the Crow . You remember that Blacky knew just where Bowser was and often flew over that farmyard to make sure that Bowser was still there . So more than once Blacky heard Bowser 's great voice with its mournful note , and understood it . It troubled Blacky .
Yes , Sir , it actually troubled XXXXX .
