Dum-dum is one very lucky cheetah. A nice story.

cover:
Dum-dum, a young cheetah, had been captured when a kitten an trained to run down the speedy blackbuck which abounded on the plains of India in the earlier part of this century. But she had never been shown how to find her own food. So when, one night, a youth with a grudge against the trainer set her free, she had to learn quickly or die.
