Cobalt rose slowly to his feet, taking his sweet time, "now listen here, I will leave, but, I suggest you get a muzzle for the rat. I may be no gentleman, but I at least am smart enough to not pick a fight a dog whos paw is the same size as my entire body." he said, turning and padding away silently.

Vi shook her head, "hes always grumpy like that. But I guess you cant blame him, he was raised a fighting dog, and..."her voice trailed off, then got real quiet, "he ended up having to kill his own brother." she whispered, then shuddered.

Skye shook her head, "why didnt he just leave?"

"He couldnt," Vi said, "his 'master' kept him on a tight leash, because of his size and skill, but his manster was a crazy man and would beat all the dogs there for the fun of it. It was all Cobalt really knew, then one day, he just snapped. it wasnt long after he killed his brother, he saw a wild dog and realised that he didnt have to live like that. He ended up attacking his master, then running away." she said with a shrig.

It was Skye turn to shudder, "I can't imagine my master hitting me, let alone me attacking him! But then again, I have had life really good." she said with a sigh.

Sage stared Cobalt down in silence until he was well out of sight, then let out a soft whuff of breath and sat down, shaking. That had to have been the most idiotic thing she had ever done...but she had done her duty, and she knew that her master would be pleased. "Pffft, who peed on his hydrant?" Maxi asked, trying to seem as nonchallant about the situation as possible as he moved to sit between Vi and Skye.

He hushed up quickly as the shepherd explained, his ears drooping. "Man, that's a rough path to walk If I ever heard'a one. Hey, my humans might not always have been around, but at least they never hit me or anything. I just don't get where crazy humans like that come from." Sage listened quietly as Vi explained everything, her head hanging low. "If all that is true, then why did he walk away just now? He knew that he could kill me."

((ummmm Maxi and Cobalt argued, and now cobalt left XD))

Vi shook her head, "killing is what he knows, and is good at, but ever since he ran from his humans, he tried to not fight anymore, but hes not to good at making friends, since he was a fighting dog, he was taught to not make friends 'cause he might have to fight them. I kinda feel bad, I'm the closest thing to a friend he has. And I've only seen him fight once, and it was to save me. Thats how we met. I was barely full grown, and a huge mastiff attacked me because I was in his territory. Cobalt came out of nowhere and saved my life. So now I try and keep him out of trouble, and he backs me up whenever I need it." She shrugged, "most dogs that are willing to fight get scared off just by his presence. He is kinda scary." she said.

Skye sighed, "poor guy. Its no wonder hes so aggressive." she said, mostly to herself.

"I've never been to a farm."Akila said.

Rodeo looked at her. "I was born on a farm. That's why they named me Rodeo."He said.
