Black's situation was ultimately brought to the attention of a concerned neighbor, who then promptly sought assistance. Black was afraid and hostile when rescuers arrived since he had never experienced a kind touch at any point in his life. The painstaking persuading that took place over the course of many hours ultimately won some confidence, and Black warily permitted them to approach. The hunger and appreciation that he felt ultimately overcame his dread, and he gobbled the food that they had provided. The cake was his first experience with cake, and he licked every crumb clean, relishing a flavor that he had never experienced before.
