The wolf really hadn't expected the dog to be able to make the leap up, but then, he reasoned, the dog had never had as good a reason to get onto the shelf as he had now, especially if it was sentient and would have been able to directly ask its old master for food rather than having to wait for feeding time like a normal dog down on the ground.<br/><br/>"It's a pleasure doing business with you Akita," says the wolf as the dog's leap up towards the shelf carries him up to it, and then, knowing an opportunity when he sees one, the wolf literally leaps onto the huge dog's head and uses its body like a rope, sliding down closer to the ground, and letting go just past the tail, which flick a bit, and then sent him sprawling to the floor.<br/><br/>Rather than a safe landing though, he was forced to roll to protect himself, soon rolling right into the pile of dog food and becoming stuck as he heard the crash of the dog to floor, along with the clatter of the shelf and everything that had been on it.<br/><br/>"Oh bother," he said as he tried to struggle out, knowing he was only making the pile around him bounce a bit as he moved within it.
