“Oh, Lucky!” Georgia tried to pull him back, but he had his nose in the hole, and was barking frantically. He’d been within a metre of a real rabbit, and now it had disappeared! He could smell it still, but he couldn’t see it. He dug and scrabbled, but he couldn’t get any further in, the hole was too narrow. Eventually he gave up and slunk sadly back to Georgia. For some reason she seemed cross, but he had no idea why.

“That rabbit was terrified! You shouldn’t have chased it, Lucky!”

Adam snorted. “Come on, Georgie, he’s a dog! That’s what dogs do! Spaniels were bred for hunting.”

“But Lucky’s a pet, not a hunting dog! What if he gets to like hunting things and starts chasing cats?” Georgia snapped back. “Then he’d be in real trouble. Imagine Mrs Winter next door if he chased Percy!” Percy was Mrs Winter’s enormous fluffy Persian cat. Georgia sighed, looking down at Lucky, who was watching her with confused eyes and slowly wagging his tail. “Oh, it isn’t your fault, Lucky. I’m not really cross. It was such a cute rabbit, that’s all.”

“Anyway, that answers the question about letting him off the lead,” Dad pointed out. “Have you noticed how close we are to the edge of the cliff?” He crouched down, pushing aside some clumps of yellow flowers to show the animal holes dotted around between them – and the little sandy slope trailing down to the edge. “If a rabbit popped up in front of Lucky and ducked into one of those holes just there, he’d be over the side of the cliff before you could even call his name.”

Georgia shuddered. “I suppose you’re right. OK, we’ll keep the lead on.”

Lucky wandered on, sniffing hopefully for more rabbits, but they all seemed to have hidden themselves away. For the rest of the walk he had to make do with leaping at the butterflies, lots of tiny little blue ones, which kept flying around his nose in a most unwise manner.
