They were both powerful creatures, and fairly matched as regarded size.

It was terrible to hear their fierce growling, and to see the way in which they tore at each other's throats.

I looked at Miss Laura.

But she told me to keep back, and ran on herself.
The boys were throwing water on the dogs and pulling their tails, and hurling stones at them, but they could not separate them.
