Confrontation at the Dump

The boys stop at the Castle Rock Dump to get water from the pump. They are confronted by Milo Pressman and his dog Chopper after Teddy taunts the dog. Milo insults Teddy's father, calling him a 'loony,' which enrages Teddy. The boys escape over the fence, but the encounter leaves them shaken and aware of the hostility they face.
