Dockyard Dogfight

. The betting and cursing, the shouting and arguing of the dockyard's drunken crowd rise to a feverish pitch and explode into a diabolical din! The blood-crazed dogs snarl, leap and lunge at each other's throat. They clamp foaming jaws on furry flesh, ripping it, their growls muffled by gore and dirt and torn, bloody skin! One seizes the other's jugular, tightens his hold till the pavement is slippery with blackish blood. The vanquished falls, lies limp, its frothy jaw now loosened, just another mutilated carcass there in the bloodied dust! The betting and cursing, the shouting and arguing of the dockyard's drunken crowd rise to a feverish pitch and explode into a diabolical din! .
