Welcome to Gaia! ::

Tobi merely grumbled and looked away as if to say that was a bad idea. He wasn't exactly big so who would think he was a guard dog? Little thoughts ran through his brain as he tried to think of what to do in this situation. When a thought finally popped into his head he wondered how to convey it to Blade. Quickly the bandit dog ran off in the direction of the alley they had been in earlier. It took a few moments but when he finally returned he had the purse in his mouth that Blade had thrown aside before.

Maybe he could act like he was bringing something to them? In question he tilted his head trying to bark around the purse.

Tobi gave a resounding bark, his tail wagging to confirm Blade had gotten it right. It seemed like a much similar plan to trying to find a kid in a well or being a guard dog. Pssh....silly plans. Tobi looked to the thief expectantly as he jumped up placing his front paws on Blade's knee. He was certain he could make this work.

Taking the purse Tobi trotted his way over to the guard. It was a lot of maneuvering under feet but Tobi finally made it. Once there he started to paw at the ground by the guard's feet giving a low whine. Once he thought he had the man's attention he dropped the purse at his feet. Now that his mouth was free he gave a slight bark, sitting in front of the purse and placing a paw on it.

Tobi barked a bit standing back to his feet, one paw still on the purse. His tail began to wag as the man crouched down toward him and he moved a bit closer as if to be pet. If the man tried to grab the purse Tobi would be sure to grab hold of it and play tug.

Tobi gave a light tug on the purse, his tail moving a mile a minute. It seemed he wanted to play. When the guard stood up to get better leverage on the purse, Tobi was merely lifted with it his back feet the only thing still planted on the ground. He gave a playful growl as he shook his head lightly though not enough to pull the purse from the guard's hands.

"Alright now, I'll be sure to get right on this." Another guard stepped out of a coffee shop, giving his goodbye to whoever was inside. Once the door was closed he shook his head turning toward the street to find his comrade. "I swear, dogs running off with purses? Who ever heard of such a-" His eyes then settled on his fellow guard trying to wrestle a purse out of a dog's mouth. He seemed fairly busy and didn't appear to notice the young lad coming up from behind. "Oy, watch out!" He started to hurry over, though there was some distance to cover. He would be sure to go after the boy, hopefully the other guard would get the dog. "Don't let them get away!"

Tobi had let the purse drop and he took a few steps back as the guard fell forward. Once the man was back on his feet and tried to make a grab for him Tobi did what was probably unexpected. Instead of making a run for it he leapt toward the man. He jumped a bit higher than need be and dug his front feet into that man's shoulder. Once his footing was secured his back feet followed and he propelled off the man in the direction the thief and the other guard were running off in.

Making his way through the crowd the guard pushed people aside to help advance his footing. He may have been older but he was physically fit and it was an ease task to keep up. "Stop where you are!" He yelled at the thief.

Tobi was quick to follow and he just barely saw Blade duck into an alleyway. He wasn't far behind the guard that had been pursuing the thief so when he passed the guard up he slid in a sharp turn to go down the same alley. But once he got there he stopped in confusion. Where had Blade gone?

The guard had the same idea of making a sharp stop though his wasn't nearly as graceful. He almost passed the alley in doing so but regained control of his footing and followed the dog. The thief didn't seem to be anywhere in sight and the dog seemed just as lost. Approaching the canine now that it had no where to run, the guard reach down to grab him by the scruff of his neck. "Come here you."

Turning to face the guard Tobi began to back up, his teeth bared as he started to growl. It was amazing how different he looked when he put on an angry face. He never actually attacked anyone, despite how much his previous owners had tried to train him to do so, he just couldn't do it. He could, however, put on a show. Hackles raised as he focused on the hand trying to grab him, mouth open like he was prepared to bite.
