A part that surprised me was how sick one of the puppies got. Hungry, one of the main dogs of the four, got really sick, and passed away. In the story, they never answered how he died, but thought it was some kind of sickness from birth. "The scent of death, recognizable to me as any memory, wafted off of Hungry in the dry, dusty air," (22). This is when they realized he had passed and became very somber about it.
