"War hounds," breathed Feifei. "I've only ever seen them in photos before. They're magnificent."
"I'm sure they are, until they tear us apart for breakfast," Lili panted. "This day just keeps getting more and more shitty."
The women drew their daggers and crowded behind Miro, but the pack of dogs formed a circle around them and started darting in at them from behind the dragon, barking, growling and snapping ferociously, long strings of drool flying from their jaws.
"Oh!" Indy cried as a string of smelly doggy saliva wrapped itself around her arm.
"Settle down boys," Ruby used her horse whisperer voice and showed them her palms in a gesture of submission.
"Rowf!" a huge dog snapped right at Ruby's face, stopped at the last minute only by Miro's claws.
"Ruby!" Indy screamed. "Climb up here! Stop talking to them. They're wild beasts."
"I wonder if your blood can tame them, Delphi," Feifei mused.
