Tiger & Talbot and Young Andy Davis

It was dark out while Andy tried to navigate back to the campsite with his flashlight. He had to pee and he wanted to relieve himself FAR away from the other campers but now he was lost.

He heard bushes shaking and became uneasy as he placed a hand on his cowboy hat, a method to calm himself.

After a while the noise stopped.

"Heh," Andy chuckled to stay at ease. "Probably just a squirrel-"

The boy yelped as he had been pounced on from behind and landed on the ground with a heavy weight on his back. The dazed boy immediately became aware when a hot, panting breath washed over his cheek followed by a long, slobbery tongue that dragged up his cheek. Andy couldn't help but giggle at this.

The weight soon leaped off of him, allowing the boy to get up. He placed a hand on his head then placed the other and began patting his own head to feel for his red cowboy hat.

Andy looked up and saw his cowboy hat in the jaws of large dog, a Great Dane to be exact.

"Hey, give that back!" Andy yelled, as he ran toward the Great Dane, not caring if it was bigger than him. The dog ran with his hat the big dog managed to create some distance but Andy still had him in sight. Tiger was careful to make sure the kid didn't lose sigh of him.

Talbot was laying in a cave with a lighted camp fire that Arthur had started. Their young owner was tasked to go off hunting and had wanted to bring his beloved dogs along. Arthur still wasn't back and Tiger was off, looking for another playmate til Arthur arrived.

He smelled Tiger approaching and stood up to see his tail wagging eagerly. Tiger had found a playmate!

Talbot instantly got excited and wagged his tail as well but then noticed the red hat in his brother's jaw. Curiosity, added with the eagerness of another playmate made the Great Dane snap his jaws on the other end of the cowboy hat. Tiger growled at this, arguing in his own tongue that he found it first. The two large Great Danes were now in a tug of war with the cowboy hat. They growled at each other, shaking their heads, and were pulling harder and harder.

RIIIPPP!

Both dogs stumbled backwards as they have ripped the hat in half. They shared a worried look and instantly dropped both halves of the hat. Both dogs knew this was property of their soon to be playmate.

"My hat!"

The two dogs turned to see a distraught Andy by the entrance of the cave. The brown haired boy ran and dropped to his knees and held both halves in his hands. "You guys ripped my hat!"

Andy was upset, he wanted to cry, he wanted to shout at the two dogs not caring how big they were. But the remorseful look in their eyes with their pitiful whimpers calmed Andy down.

"Aw, it's okay guys. I know you too didn't mean it and besides I can always get another one." He patted both dogs on the head and the two Great Danes became excited, they tackled the boy to the ground and gave each cheek slobbery slurps.

"Hey!" Andy giggled as he tried to fend off the two dogs sloppy tongues.
