There was a Bitch who was once ready to give birth to her puppies, begged a shepherd for a place where she might litter.
When her request was granted, she took the permission to rear her puppies in the same spot.
The shepherd again granted her request. But at
last the Bitch, protected by the bodyguard of
her puppies, who had now grown up and were able
to defend themselves, declared her exclusive
right to the place and would not permit the
shepherd to appear before them.
