There was also another sequence that I liked in the book, in which Pinocchio is forced to take the place of a watchdog who has recently died. While faithfully watching the barn, he is approached by two weasels who reveal that they made a deal with the deceased watchdog by which he looked the other way while they robbed the farmer of his chicken. Pinocchio refuses to abide by this deal and captures the weasels instead, alerting the deceased watchdog's owner by barking loudly. The farmer then kills the weasels and frees Pinocchio as a reward. I call this the "human watchdog" sequence, and it is a real shame that it was not included in the movie version.
