CHAPTER ONE
Igor watched in horror as the big brown dog bit into the doctor's neck and shook him. His eyes nearly bugging out of his head and mouth hanging open in a silent scream as blood squirted out in a couple directions and stained his shirt collar. Igor quickly grabbed a club under his seat, and smashed the dog in the head, then shoved him overboard, then stuck his fingers in the puncture wounds on the doctor's neck while flooring the engine and high tailing it out of the lagoon.

The Skipper was walking towards the lagoon when he thought he heard a boat motor. He quickly ran towards the cliff over looking the bend of the lagoon just in time to see a boat in the distance heading away from them. He walked quickly along the path to the beach where he knew Gilligan would be but was stopped short when in front of him was a big brown dog climbing weakly out of the water and collapsed. He slowly approached.
"Hey there fella!" He replied cupping his hand under the dog's head and noticed that it had a big bloody gash on its head. The dog looked at him with big black tired eyes then closed them.
He looked up to call Gilligan over but noticed that something wasn't right. He pick up the dog and continued down the path and walked to where Gilligan had built his sandcastle and gently placed the dog down and assessed the scene. The sandcastle was smashed and there looked like there had been a struggle between Gilligan and someone with bare feet. His stomach began to feel uneasy.
"PROFESSOR COME QUICK!" He shouted and the Professor was by his side within seconds.
"What's wrong where did this dog come from?" The Professor asked.
"I had thought I had heard a boat leaving so I think whoever it was wounded and abandoned this dog," the Skipper began. "And then I think something must've happened to Gilligan because it looks like there was a struggle."
"Oh gosh!" The Professor replied assessing the scene then the unconscious dog. "First things first we need to bring this dog back to camp then we can look for Gilligan!"
The Skipper picked up the dog and they hurried back to camp.

Back at camp Mary Ann and Ginger had just finished the laundry when they noticed the Skipper and the Professor run into the supply hut with what looked like a dog. They looked at each other then followed them into the hut where the Skipper was placing a big brown down on the table.
"What happened where did this dog come from?" Mary Ann asked noticing the bloody gashed on the big brown Labrador Retriever's head.
"I thought I heard a boat in the lagoon," the Skipper began. "When I went to investigate I found this dog crawling out of the water. I think someone might've abandoned it."
"Oh my goodness!" Ginger replied.
"Would you mind boiling some water so I can clean this wound!" The Professor replied as he got out his medical bag.
"Of course!" They both replied as they left.
"Are you all set?" The Skipper asked and the Professor nodded. "Okay I'm going to try to look for Gilligan. Don't tell anyone that he's missing just yet?"
"Okay good luck!" The Professor replied putting on his stethoscope as the Skipper left.
A couple of minutes later the girls came back with a bucket of water and found the Professor looking through his medical book.
"Mary Ann how do you take a dog's pulse?" The Professor asked closing his book.
"It's real simple!" Mary Ann replied as she felt the dog's thigh. "You take it on the inner side of the thigh like this. The larger dogs have slower heart rates but he seems to have a rapid pulse."
"Hmmm, and how about his eyes are they supposed to be that black?" The Professor asked as he shined a light in the dog's eye for Mary Ann to look at.
"No his pupils are really big," Mary Ann replied with concern. "I'm pretty sure that's a combination of him being stressed and the blow to the head."
"Hmmm, right let's clean the wound and see if it needs stitches." The Professor replied as he wrung out a rag in the bucket.

"GILLIGAN ARE YOU IN THERE?" The Skipper called into Gilligan's lone wolf cave and even stuck in head in to look but didn't see him.
"GILLIGAN WHERE ARE YOU?" The Skipper called as he started to get an uneasy feeling in the pit of his stomach.
