Chapter 180
The little dog raced along the wire fence, safely separated from the cattle moving restlessly on the other side. On the far side of that particular area, the two-legged beasts it sought sat astride creatures even larger than those in the herd. Some of them pawed the ground with impatience, sending the dog into a fit of barking, as if noise alone could frighten them away.
It was tired of running back and forth over the uneven ground, ducking into the trees and dense foliage when one of the huge creatures got too near. It wanted food but when it had tried to sneak between the wires to investigate the piles the monsters were feeding on, one of the creatures gave a sound that vibrated right into the dog's core. It yipped and ducked back under the fence again.
