A Giant

A Giant There is an unknown legend that comes from the great Black Forest of a creature fearsome and oh, so glorious. Though his brain be small and barely larger than a walnut his head and jaws are held in fear and awe. Those huge brown eyes hold such a stare and his teeth are sharp as nails with claws long and pointed reaching everywhere. The body black and boldly trimmed in brown short haired waistcoat thick yet soft rapped snuggly at his belly round. The form is slim and trim, the torso long and lank a streamlined tail waving in the sun satisfied when its task is done. There he is, can you see him frown thrashing through the field everybody running as he comes into town. His sound is loud and deafening, it roars like echoed thunder as feet imprint the earth he plunders. There he stands with renewed vigor and vim challenging every eye on him. What's that you say, you're unafraid, He is but a tiny Dachshund? Stand back my friends, you doubting disbelievers, be fearful and leary, despite his size he is a giant, a Rottweiler in disguise.
