第十五章：“你响了，夫人？”(11)
He reached into his backpack, and pulled out the sad remains of Toothless’s torn, burnt, coat. Hiccup had hidden it for precisely this purpose, so the Hogfly could follow Toothless’s smell, and find out where the Alvinsmen had taken him.
‘That,’ said the Wodensfang admiringly, ‘is a Clever Plan, Hiccup.’
The coat was sopping wet, of course, and Hiccup had to hope that this wouldn’t affect the scent. ‘Give it a good sniff, Hogfly. I need you to fetch Toothless. Fetch Toothless, good Hogfly.’
The Hogfly gave a sigh of relief. His little piglet tail wagged so fast it was nearly a blur. At last he could be helpful! This was something he understood! This was something he could do!
The Hogfly snuffled the coat all over.
‘Hmmm…’ sneezed the Hogfly in a deep little voice. ‘Fruity…’
His sniffer nose sniffed up and down, taking in great, woofing breaths, as if it had a life of its own. A couple of years ago, Hiccup had taught this particular Hogfly how to ‘fetch’. It had taken a long time, for Hogflys are not bred for their intelligence. Their minds hop from subject to subject like butterflies.
