Read the paragraph below from Jack London's short story "The Call of the Wild." Use the rules of hyphenation to decide where hyphens are needed.

And Buck was truly a (red eyed, or, red-eyed) devil, as he drew himself together for the spring, (hair bristling, or, hair-bristling), (mouth-foaming, or, mouth foaming), a mad glitter in his (blood-shot, or, blood shot eyes). Straight at the man he launched his (one hundred and forty, or, one-hundred and forty) pounds of fury, surcharged with the pent passion of two (days and nights, or, days-and-nights).
