The scent of the dead bull's body attracted

• buzzards during the day, and raccoons and skunks at night

• wolves whose snarling and fighting kept Travis' family awake for two nights

• the attention of some of the closest neighbors, but they were too frightened to travel far from home.

Mama had Travis to shoot Spot in a place where

• there was plenty of wood nearby to burn her
