The men shrugged, and picked up Ace's cage again. They took him to the main cage where most of the other dogs where, and opened the cage door. Ace came out a bit, then a man grabbed him hardly by the scruff. Ace snarled, his teeth bared. A muzzle was forced onto his snout, and tied. They shoved him in, and slammed the door behind him. Ace snarled, and unwillingly went in. When the men left, he lowered his head so that it was very low. He used his paw to get a nail on the strap, and pulled it off. He raised his head again and shook his fur. He looked around, and began panting slightly. He went to an empty corner and laid down. He didn't like his life. He had been used as a fighting dog, which he had won every fight, and killed or seriously injured all his opponents. But he wouldn't have done that, if he didn't have to. By experience, he knew he would be beaten repeatedly, so that almost his whole body was bloody and appeared to be broken. Now he was in a puppymill. What would happen next; he thought. He looked around, his ears perked up. Ace was very large, and very muscled, perhaps the biggest dog here so far. He wasn't HUGE, but he was compared to a few dogs. His yellowish orange eyes glanced around at the other dogs around him.
