I was just on my guarding duty with my partner, which was a male. When I saw the whole scene the dog who was standing up for herself. "I wish I was that brave to stand up for myself." The male seemed to hear me even though I was barely even talking aloud. "You know, if you do that you're surely going to get a beating." The male was talking without looking at me. "You're just mad that you're not brave at all." That made him really angry, and he jumped up and started nipping at me so I nipped back. It turned into a fight and the humans were walking over. I saw them coming so I stopped and was whimpering and dodging the bites he threw at me. He had a confused face but continued until the workers came with a whip and was whipping him sometimes it hit me. I was used to the pain. He wasn't, in other words he must be new. So they finally got him away and I could over hear them say, "Little Tanny here need a new partner, let her work alone for the rest of the day and get her a new partner tomorrow." By the time they left I was panting and tired, and also bruised. I was glad I was getting a new partner because I hated that male.
