Liam sat near the lockers near the changing rooms as he looked down at his phone, his hands shook in fear. He wasn't the greatest fighter, mostly he lost fights, he had a bandage wrapped round his arm from the last fight and it was still hurting. He didn't feel ready for the next one yet. He sighed and slumped down resting his back on his bag, he jumped up when his name was called.
"Liam? is that it?" a gravelly voice shouted
"u-uh yeah.."
"right, yer up now" the voice called back
Liam picked himself up and rubbed his bandaged arm before walking into the open room with a ring in the middle, people shouted from the seats surrounding the ring as he slowly walked to it. Another dog stood ready in the ring staring down at him, apparently his opponent today had won many times before, unlike Liam. Liam stepped into the ring and tried to look intimidating as possible, he started shaking, everything seemed to spin. His nerves got the better of him and the referee already did the count down to fight before he even knew it. The dog sprinted towards Liam as he stood not knowing what to do, his paw hit his face and knocked him down. Everything faded to black, he didn't know how long he was gone for.
"are you okay?" Liam tried to make out what they was saying after just waking up.
"uh..hello?" The stranger said again.
Liam slowly sat himself up from the floor and opened one eye because now the other one was bruised. He stared at the dog sat before him. There eyes brightened when Liam woke up. "you're not dead!" they laughed. Liam held his head and spoke for the first time to them "I've been hit much worse." The stranger awkwardly smiled, probably not hearing what he said but pretending they did. "Im Duke, I heard them calling you Latte when you got...well knocked out." Duke laughed. Liam looked confused and then corrected him "Its Liam actually.." Duke paused for a second and his cheeks went red. "o-oh I'm sorry mate! Im deaf in one ear so I didn't know.." Duke flopped his ears down and Liam smiled up at him. "its okay, but I need to go now.." Liam added and quickly grabbed his bag and slung it round his back before walking to the exit. He looked back at Duke, he had brown and white short fur, his green eyes looking right into Liam as he walked away. His tail was stumped and short and it hung against his short legs. He looked like Liam, same long snout, floppy ears. Liam opened the door and turned back to him, "see ya then" he said. "bye Latte" Duke said back. Liam felt a smile go across his face before leaving the door.
