"Foust's Battery E had a canine mascot named "Old Bull" who ran himself ragged chasing Confederate projectiles as they bounced and rolled along the ground. Many shells failed to explode because of defective fuses, but it seemed unlikely Old Bull would survive the day unless he saw the error of his ways. The wiry mongrels' chances improved around 2;00 P.M., when Hindman returned to the Ridge and told Shoup and Marmaduke to stop wasting ammunition."
