Amos, being able to talk to animals telepathically, had convinced her he was a good herd-mate to have, and she wasn't very keen on running away. She waded out into the river, with a look askance at the dog, and began to paw, splashing water everywhere in great gouts and wetting her chest and belly.]
[Amos laughed and moved up beside Sam's buckskin.] So go on, have a drink, girl.
[Only then did he look at Sam.] Hi! Need a little help? I'm good with animals.
