He is moving to a rocky outcrop, the highest point of this "GOOD" ground we appear to be about to desert.................. . His pacing and whining has been replaced with a purposeful stride, and a deep growl appears to be coming forth from deep in his massive chest. The hackles are up on his back and neck. He is now throwing his head back, and a most fearsome deep howl is booming forth outward from the heights all along the battle front and outward to the far plain. Teeth flashing......... his cry rises and falls with a wild and deep creshedo. The commanders have formed up by brigades and these are pushing and swelling to the front............ held back only, by the strong presence of the battle commanders and the Dog. With one last terrible howl reverberating all along the line, and with eyes burning............ the Dog takes one last look back to the swell of the helmets, shields, flashing lances and swords and leaps away into space. He lands on all fours in a great cloud of dust and dirt forty yards downslope. With another look back, as if summoning the battle commanders and the huge swell of the army behind them, he leaps away to the danger of the plain far, far below.......... in search of the bluffs that will lead this great determined army to the safety of the high ground many ridges away to the north. As he stretches out one can hear the battle cries of the various brigades, their trumpets calling for the charge .............. to follow in the tracks of the great Dog.............. I must get out of the way... {heavy breathing}... they are pouring down the slopes............. {raspy breathing}.. must stay on my feet............ {lungs bursting}.............. to go down now........ is to die............................... . must.............. follow the Dog. ........NO FEAR. ............follow the Big Blue Dog. ............................................
