My friends, in this new ‘merca, tell me – why can’t we have both?  Why wouldn’t our best friends trudge across that icy bridge into ‘merca with our first peoples?  It’s unpatriotic to even think that the new Americans wouldn’t bring their puppies with them!  Meanwhile, in the olde country, nomadic tribes from the Eastern Steppes were introducing our soldiers to a number of colossal, bestial breeds for war – Alaunt and Mastiff-types with jaws capable of crushing out the hope of the cuāuhocēlōtl (look it up, damned if I can pronounce it).   These animals were armored like the horses of the conquistadors, and you’ll hear all about them if you give a listen!
