He was a very creative person and he'd had a lot of practice playing with ropes.  It was quite a simple concept, he was surprised that no one had ever thought of it. "No, of course you're not an animal!  What are you, some poor beast to be lead around by rope and made to serve her master like a good little sow?"<br/><br/>He took another length of rope, tying it around her neck so when he yanked, it choked her.  She kept struggling and he gave it a hard yank.  "See, NOW you are an animal.  For example, when we get downstairs, keep in mind, if you don't obey you don't get fed.  And that applies from everyone.  Understand?"<br/><br/>He didn't eve wait for her answer before he yanked the rope again, "Heel!"  He yelled back at her as he walked through the door.
