I have tried to excite Benny when I see a mole tunnel moving. He could care less. But he energetically chases everything above-ground and, if he could fly, turkey buzzards would be in big trouble.

There is a groundhog who lives about three hundred feet west of the Heartwood house. It crosses a mowed area perhaps fifty feet wide to go to the stream for water. I see it as hopeless, but Benny has still not given up on the possibility of catching and killing that fellow. He runs like a young pup full speed every time he sees the groundhog which of course dives into his hole. Benny thoroughly sniffs the area, finally gives up and comes back to the house. Next day, same movie.
