That afternoon he drove over there , his heart filled with great hope . But he had his long ride for nothing , for when he got there he found that the strange dog was not Bowser at all . Meanwhile Old Man Coyote and Reddy Fox and Old Granny Fox had become very bold . They even came up around the henyard in broad daylight . `` I believe you know something about what has become of Bowser , '' Farmer Brown 's boy said , as he chased Old Man Coyote away one day . `` You certainly know that he is n't home , and I more than suspect that you know why he is n't home . I certainly shall have to get another dog to teach you not to be so bold . '' 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 , XXXXX sometimes bayed from sheer homesickness .
