Bowser watched him disappear and whined sadly , for somehow it made him feel more lonesome than before . But for one thing he would have gone back to his bed of hay in the corner of that sugar camp . That one thing was hunger . It seemed to Bowser that his stomach was so empty that the very sides of it had fallen in . He just must get something to eat . So , after waiting a moment or two , Bowser turned and limped away through the trees , and he limped in the direction which Blacky the Crow had taken . You see , he could still hear Blacky 's voice calling `` Caw , caw , caw '' , and somehow it made him feel better , less lonesome , you know , to be within hearing of a voice he knew . Bowser had to go on three legs , for one leg had been so hurt in the fall over the bank that he could not put his foot to the ground . Then , too , he was very , very stiff from the cold and the wetting he had received the night before . So poor Bowser made slow work of it , and Blacky the Crow almost lost patience waiting for him to appear . As soon as Bowser came in sight , Blacky gave what was intended for a cheery caw and then headed straight for the place he had started for that morning , giving no more thought to Bowser the Hound . You see , he knew that Bowser would shortly come to a road . `` If he does n't know enough to follow that road , he deserves to starve , '' thought Blacky . Bowser did know enough to follow that road . The instant he saw that road , he knew that if he kept on following it , it would lead him somewhere . So with new hope in his heart , Bowser limped along .
