Fire whined and galloped after the two. He slid to a halt at the tree hole. The male reached his narrow muzzle in the hole and picked the pup up. "Dawn let me figure it out please." he whimpered and trotted to a boulder, he sat behind the boulder in a den. Fire laid the pup in between his paws as the male laid down. "Tami your right, but you are not an ugly weak pup. You are my pup, and all my pups grow up to be strong warriors. So don't say you a an ugly, weak, failure. Because you aren't. If I know anything! It's that you are not a weak, ugly pup!" he said with a strong, powerful, calm voice. He buffered his chest with pride. Fire softly licked the pups eyes to take away the salty tears.
