Manasa scratched his ear with his hind paw, sitting back at his front spot just behind the barrier. He kept his chicken right in front of his forepaws, guarding it from any potential thieves. He shifted his weight from one forepaw to the other, waiting for the upcoming fight with great anticipation.
Tyson, meanwhile, had slunk through the crowd, trying to relocate his coyote-dog friend after he lost him in the crowd. Manasa's second chicken he won from his last bet was locked firmly in the boxer's jaws, and he was determined to not let anyone shove him around for it this time, especially after Manasa's stern warning. The yearling kept his head low, flinching a bit as two loud talking dogs walked past him. Eyes focused on them, he payed little attention to where he was walking, until he walked head-on right into the chest of a huge Irish Wolfhound. "Watch it, kid!" The wolfhound snarled, curling his heavily furred muzzle in a snarl. "S-sorry." Tyson whimpered through his mouthful of feathers. "Sorry don't cut it. I ain't about to deal with being shoved around by a little runt like you." The much larger dog snapped, lowering his head. "I-It was an accident- I-" "Yeah right! I've dealt with punks like you here before." The wolfhound interrupted, standing over the cowering boxer. "Know what, give me that chicken, there and we'll call it even, runt." The huge grey brute said through a cocky snarl. Tyson stared up at him with huge eyes, knowing he couldn't lose this food. "No! It's not mine! I can't give it to you." He protested with a hesitant whine, stepping backwards. The hound sneered. "We'll see about that." He growled, stepping towards him. With a terrifying bark, he shot his open jaws forward, latching his enormous teeth on the side of the chicken clenched between Tyson's jaws. The boxer glared at the hound in surprise and anger, tugging back on the meat in protest.
