That came later.
There are those who like to torment a dog on a chain.
They usually torment the kinder dogs, being somewhat frightened of the meaner dogs, though they are chained.
Often, even the kindest of dogs becomes mean after enough torment.
When those dogs that had been tormented are unleashed, they are usually mercilessly vicious towards those that tormented them.
I've been very cognizant of the fact that I became a vicious dog at times, through Christ I have gained my freedom, but like a chained dog once freed, I stay far away from the chain and snarl whenever I see it surface.
