Summary: They hadn’t expected help from this quarter.

***

Holmes and I raced after the glowing mountainous beast pursuing the terrified Sir Henry, dread at the inevitable filling us.

A small blur of white and black dashed in from the side and bowled the Hound off its feet.

Stunned, we caught up, and our guns ended the creature.

And the three of us petted a gaunt, tail-wagging curly-haired spaniel.

Aw! Hurrah! Go little guy!

Now this is an excellent ending.

Came back like Han Solo to save the day.

An unexpected hero dashes in to save the day, AND I get to save Dr. Mortimer's doggie. Win-win!

Yes! Yes! The spaniel survives ^____^ Wonderful twist - I'm keeping this one as head canon ^_^

He lives!

So am I. Dr. Mortimer will be relieved too.

He fled the enclosure (not without losing his collar and some hair that got mixed with the rabbit bones, leading to ACD's erroneous conclusion) and had been living a precarious existence out on the mire where the Hound couldn't get him.

Nothing a few good meals, a bath and some heavy-duty petting by his relieved owner won't fix.
