Manasa slipped into the fight ring, lowering his eyebrows at his opponent. The shepherd was huge, naturally larger than him. Alright, 'Nasa, you can do this. He thought to himself, shaking off the 'pre-show jitters.' The shepherd nodded at him, and he returned the gesture. "Begin!" The Judge barked over them. The Coydog smirked and ducked his head, circling the shepherd. Suddenly, the big herding dog sprang at him, easily bareling him off his paws with its brute strength. The two tumbled over each other for a moment before coming to a hard stop with the shepherd standing on top of the coydog. Manasa bared his teeth, jerking his head up to snag hold of the brute's throat flesh. His coyote-like teeth seemed to be an advantage, as the dog let out a yelp of pain, stumbling to the side slightly. Jerking his head with the dog's neck locked in his jaws to the left, he forced the shepherd off from him and slipped to his feet, releasing. The shepherd snarled viciously and lunged for the smaller coydog again. This time, Manasa was easily able to slip to the side and narrowly dodge its attack. Growling, he flung himself at the shepherd, landing square on its back. Hind paws dangling from its back end, he sunk his fangs into the back of the dog's neck. Under the weight of the brute, though it wasn't very heavy, the shepherd stumbled, finding it difficult to keep his balance. Manasa jerked the dog's neck to the side, the motion sending the dog toppling over. The coydog flopped to the ground, but quickly hopped up and sprang for the shepherd's side before he could collect his paws under him. Pouncing on top of the brute, he held his paws firmly on his chest and snapped down, clenching its throat in his mouth. Though the shepherd struggled, his odd position made him unable to flip the coydog off of him, and was quickly running out of air. "Yield! Yield!" He finally gasped out.
