Calpurnia calls Atticus to his office to inform him about the mad dog. Then she passes the message
to every neighbor on the street through the operator Eula May. When the mad dog moves towards
the Radley's, Calpurnia knocks on their front door.
Sheriff Tate comes to the mad dog scene with Atticus by a black Ford. He witnesses the whole
event, and hands Atticus a shotgun to kill the mad dog, saying that himself is a terrible shooter.
Atticus arrives to the scene with Sheriff Tate. He waits the mad dog to be in the range, argues with
Sheriff Tate on who will shoot the dog. He then informs Calpurnia to protect the children, and
shoots. His shots hits the dog, and his glasses falls and breaks when the gun fires.
When the neighbors receives Cal's message, they close their doors tight. After Atticus shoots the
mad dog, they arrive to the scene one by one. Miss Maudie praises Atticus's excellent shooting
skills, and explains to the children that their father is a noble man.
