The Underdog

The underdog; a most dreaded and despised post, was the formal Leader of Warning and Signal, he was forced to resign after he failed to warn the dogs from dog catchers when Dawa’s predecessor, the Leader of Howling, had been taken to the pound. It was so disreputable that it is second only to being impounded by the municipality. Once pronounced as the disgrace underdog, the poor creature has no dog rights and was absolutely defenseless. Every dog in the area was allowed to humiliate the underdog, either verbally or physically. Those who were able to could bark and snarl and even bite him, while others could tease and taunt him, and he was never allowed to fight back even in self-defense. So all the dogs, puppies and even female dogs were allowed to attack him in any way they like.
