Triumph Above All Novel

Chapter 250

right? How dare you shut my beloved Gerry into a room with a ton of ferocious dogs? I’m going to make sure you get savaged to death by all the dogs in this place!” Mitzi gave a scornful sniff, then bent and cuddled the head of the massive black dog at her side. She pointed at Skylar, standing on the walkway by the dog pens.The black dog let out a fierce, carrying howl that sounded like a battle cry.Up until then, all the dogs in the pens had been tame, friendly, and behaving adorably well. The minute they heard the black dog’s howl, however, they suddenly began barking in a mad frenzy as if something had electrified them.Some of the dogs even began lunging violently at the sides of the enclosures.The wooden fences that constituted the pens began to wobble dangerously. In no time at all, it seemed as if these hundreds of dogs would soon break out of the enclosures and charge at Skylar, ready to tear him to pieces.The situation was dire!Lola was so frightened that she whimpered and hid her face in Skylar’s shoulder.Despite the perilous situation, Skylar did not retreat or back off. Instead, he took two steps forward confidently. At the same time, he let out a loud snarl that carried easily through the massive space.Grrr!The hundreds of slavering, bloodthirsty dogs suddenly stopped dead in their tracks as if they had been struck by lightning. Even their barks and growls were choked off abruptly.The mad frenzy of howling and barking immediately fell silent.Mitzi and her friend stood rooted to the spot, staring agape at what was happening before their eyes.Before they could react or even get their wits together, something even more astounding happened.As they watched, all the dogs suddenly got down on their bellies and began shivering in fear.

Her legs gave way under her, and she collapsed onto the ground in absolute terror.Skylar turned away without giving the pair a second glance. Gently stroking Lola’s head, he murmured comfortingly, “It’s alright, sweetheart, everything’s fine now!”Lola finally plucked up enough courage to peek out and look up. “Daddy, it was so scary just now!
