You've seen animal documentaries about animals in the wild. Usually narrated by someone who can really sell the anthropomorphism of the animal. Bears are big and clumsy and funny, so you get Steve Brule to narrate a bear documentary.
But there's this documentary unlike any I've seen before. "Street Dogs of South Central." Instead of following "wild animals" as we know them, this follows stray dogs in the Los Angeles hood. Narrated by Queen Latifah. Yes, this is a real thing.
In the documentary there's a dog named Elsie. And she's in heat. Boy dogs from the breadth of South Central flock to her. Strays, dogs that belong to humans, none can resist. For 9 days they deprive themselves of food and sleep, to form what's called a "heat pack." A group of dogs looking to fuck. Aggressive as they are, they don't "rape" Elsie. As much as rape can exist in the animal kingdom. She's in heat, but they wait until she's receptive. And in turn, Elsie lets them fuck her. Or rather, she lets the winner fuck her.
The battle begins with alpha dog Rusty, and next-in-line Bandit. Oh, and Butter. Butter is Elsie's "friend." He's been by her side before any of these other dogs. Butter is also much smaller than the other dogs. One or both of these factors comes into play at 3:30, when Butter (the golden brown dog) tries to get in on the fight. And Elsie does what she would never do for any of the other dogs: She intervenes to take Butter out of the fight.
I reiterate, Elsie is not dumb and these dogs are not rapists. Everyone there knows what the heat pack is here for. Elsie knows Butter wants to mate, that's what the fighting is for. But Elsie won't give Butter a chance. Everyone else gets a chance. But for Butter, it literally never began.
I think that's interesting. Why doesn't Butter get to fight? What people tell me is that it has to do with Butter and Elsie's pre-existing bond. Elsie is "friends" with Butter. Which in the animal kingdom likely means Elsie sees Butter as a puppy. Someone to protect. Because of how small and puppy-like he is. We see this in humans, small neotenous people invoke a protective instinct in bigger people. And here it is blatant between Elsie and Butter. Elsie sees Butter jumping into a fight she knows he can't survive and is like "Nooooooo bby you can't fight with those other dogs" and Butter is like "But I want to mate with you Elsie!!!" And Elsie is like "No no hun mating isn't for good boys don't worry about them."
Butter was born small, ergo he was born to be seen as a baby all his life.
