The Story Begins
The strongbreeds and the fastbreeds have been fighting ever since they were pups. Neither one has ever had an advantage. The strongbreeds are too strong for the fastbreeds to defeat, and the fastbreeds are too fast for the strongbreeds to catch. Even though they know they cannot defeat each other, the fighting goes on. Now with the fastbreed camp unguarded and the fastbreed leader exposed, the strongbreeds see their chance to attack…
War at the Fastbreed Camp
The strongbreed leader approached the fastbreed lookout. “You yell and I’ll rip your throat out!” The strongbreed leader threatened. “You’ll have to catch me first!” Mocked the fastbreed as she sped off into the woods yelling “Intruder! Intruder!” the strongbreeds ran back to their camp as fast as possible, giving up the surprise attack.
War of All Dogs
The two breeds finally meet each other looking for food in the food in the forest. “You!” both the leaders growled at each other. The leaders of the fastbreeds and the leader of the strongbreeds started circling each other while the lookouts and guards started fighting. The leaders leaped at each other aiming for the throat. Suddenly all fighting around the leaders stopped and all attention was focused on the leaders. The fastbreed leader finally caught hold of the strongbreed leader’s throat. The strongbreed leader shook him off. After a while, the leaders started getting tired and their moves started getting weaker. Soon both the leaders collapsed onto the forest floor, tired, and bloody. They realized for the first time, that if they continued fighting, they would all meet a harsh, bloody end.
A New Beginning
For the first time ever recorded, both breeds started being nice to each other. Now it wasn’t the strongbreeds or the fastbreeds, it was the wholebreeds. They taught each other their fighting techniques and the places where you could get a lot of food. It was a new beginning for all dogs. But lately, the short haired dogs and the long haired dogs have been acting abnormal with each other…
