Step-by-step explanation:
The character Zaroff's best dog dies by drowning in the lake. This event occurs in the story “The Most Dangerous Game” by Richard Connell, which is a classic tale of hunter versus hunted. General Zaroff, who enjoys hunting humans on his private island, owns a pack of hunting dogs. The protagonist, Rainsford, sets a trap which inadvertently leads to the death of one of Zaroff's prized dogs. Using his wits and survival skills, Rainsford creates a scenario leading to the dog's drowning to fend for his own life and evade Zaroff's hunt.
