The dog might be curious about the fox hounds. If the fox hounds are tied, they might bark at the approaching dog. The dog could either be scared and run away or stay and try to interact in a cautious way. For example, it might sniff around but keep a safe distance from the tied fox hounds.
One possible story could be that the fox hounds are being transported in a van. Maybe the dog, which could be a different breed or a stray, somehow gets involved. For example, the van breaks down near a forest where the fox hounds are supposed to be hunting. The dog comes by out of curiosity and at first, the fox hounds are a bit territorial. But then they all start to get along and wait together for help to arrive.
It depends. Some elements of the Walton stories might be based on real events or experiences, but they could also have fictional parts added for entertainment or dramatic effect.
I'm not sure who Mr. Walton is specifically in this novel as I haven't read it. Maybe he is the main male character or an important figure that has some sort of power or influence over the love story in the book.
It's not straightforward to determine. Sometimes a story like 'Hounds of Love' might be based on a loose framework of real incidents but have substantial fictional elaborations and imaginative additions.
Well, the location of fictional Walton could vary depending on the author's imagination. Sometimes, it could be a made-up town in a fantasy realm, or perhaps it's based on a real place but with fictional elements added. Without more context, it's hard to say for sure.
