They surrounded the dog and curled their whiskered lips, making a snarling noise. Now it was the hound-dog's turn to cringe; it was his turn to squeal with agony as the squirrel under his paw twisted around, bit his forefoot-as the other squirrels sprang upon his flanks, biting, gouging, snarling, tearing.
