We set out for the gallows. Two warders marched on either side of the prisoner, with their rifles at the slope? two others marched close against him, gripping him by his arm and shoulder, as though, at once pushing and supporting him. The rest of us, magistrates and the like, followed behind. Suddenly, when we had gone ten yards, the procession stopped short without any order or warning. A dreadful thing had happened - a dog, come goodness knows whence, had appeared in the yard. It came bounding among us with a loud volley of barks, and leapt round us wagging its whole body, wild with glee at finding so many human beings together. It was a large woolly dog, half Airedale, half Pariah. For a moment, it pranced round us, and then, before anyone could stop it, it had made a dash for the prisoner, and jumping up tried to lick his face. Everyone stood aghast, too taken aback even to grab at the dog.
How did the author respond to the appearance of the dog?
1). He jumped at the dog and collared it
2). He ignored the dog and pretended it was not there
3). He was taken aback as the others
4). He yelled at the dog to silence its barking
