Jason's Gold (1999)
“Where to look?
He snowshoed up the far riverbank and scanned the low, rolling hills. A den could be anywhere or nowhere. Despite what Henderson had said, the closest den could be miles away.
It was just after midday when King came upon widely spaced gashes in the soft snow and began to sniff the track of the small, leaping animal that had passed this way. A fox? Jason wondered.
Why had the animal been leaping?
Now King was investigating the leaping tracks in the direction the animal had come fr...om. The husky seemed so intent, Jason followed. Within twenty yards, the leaping tracks led back to an overturned spruce. When the big spruce had toppled over, it had raised a mound with its roots.
By the time, Jason got there, King was sniffing at a tiny hole in the mound of snow. It was apparent from the tracks leading to the hole that the fox had come here at an unhurried pace, then gone leaping away. Had something spooked the fox?
The hole was knee-high, only two or three inches across. There was a bit of old moss showing, coated thick with frost.MoreLess
