Can someone re-summarize this without using a re-worder? : ) the ancestral paragraph notes the kiowa used to need dogs "a long time ago, when dogs could talk." it tells the story of a dog that offered to a kiowa man who was facing a bear if the man would "take care of [its] puppies." the historical section details the "great number of horses which the kiowas owned." a comanche man named ten bears noted: "when we first knew you you had nothing but dogs and sleds." the warrior society of the kiowa people was called the "real dogs" (ka-itsenko), a group of 10 men, each of whom would fight and "stand his ground to the death." in the personal paragraph, the author recalls, "there were always dogs about my grandmother's house." although no one paid them attention, he thinks "the old people" would be sad if they weren't around.
