The thrashing of the tiny puppy is ignored, her attempts barely felt within the power of his mighty jaws. He does not bite down, does not yet seek to crush the life from her for there is time for such things later. For now he merely seeks to escape with his prize, frustrated at the small den entrance and his inability to fit more of himself within it.
