ground but always with his legs under him and his feet downward to the mother earth when dogs fight there are usually to the actual combat � and and stiff legged but white learned to omit these delay meant the coming against him of all the young dogs he must do his the outcast work quickly and get away so he learned to give no warning of his intention he in and snapped and on the instant without notice before his foe could prepare to meet him thus he learned how to inflict quick and severe damage also he learned the value of surprise a dog taken off its guard its shoulder open or its ear in ribbons before it knew what was happening was a dog half whipped it was remarkably easy to overthrow a dog taken by surprise while a dog thus invariably exposed for a moment the soft of its neck � the point at which to strike for its life white knew this point it was a knowledge to him directly from the hunting generations of wolves so it was that white s method when he took the offensive was first to find a young dog alone second to surprise it and knock it off its feet and third to drive in with his teeth at the soft throat being but partly grown his jaws had not yet become large enough nor strong enough to make his throat attack deadly but many a young dog went around camp with a throat in token of white s intention and one day catching one of his enemies alone on the edge of the woods he managed by repeatedly him and attacking the throat to cut the great vein and let out white the life there had been a great row that night he had been observed the news had been carried to the dead dog s master the remembered all the instances of the stolen meat and gray was beset by many angry but he resolutely held the door of his inside which he had placed the and refused to permit the vengeance for which his white became hated by man and dog during this period of his development he never knew a moment s security the tooth of every dog was against him the hand of every man he was greeted with by his kind with curses and stones by his gods he lived he was always up alert for attack wary of being attacked with an eye for sudden and unexpected prepared to act and coolly to leap in with a flash of teeth or to leap away with a menacing as for he could more terribly than any dog young or old in camp the intent of the is to warn or frighten and judgment is required to know when it should be used white knew how to make it and when to make it into his he all that was vicious malignant and horrible with nose by continuous hair in waves tongue out like a red snake and the outcast back again ears down eyes gleaming hatred lips wrinkled back and exposed and dripping he could compel � pause on the part of almost any a t pause when taken off his guard gave him the vital moment in which to think and determine his action but often a pause so gained lengthened out until it into a complete from the attack and before more than one of the grown dogs white s enabled him to
