Note: a Beardog is an extinct creature.
These prehistoric mammals were the largest land carnivores to live in North America. They feed on the three toed horse. The three toed horse is about the size of a large dog and feeds on plants and grass.

This is what they think the bear-dog may have looked like:

===WHOOSH! As quick as a flash Dainty pounced lightly over the soft grass in the field after her small prey. She was positive that she was going to catch her foe this time, Santana, the "EVIL" Guinea pig, who had once again been trespassing on DAINTY TERRITORY! Grr, the rascal, Dainty thought to herself as Santana once again made it over to the other side of her backyard fence and cheekily poked her small slobbery out. Dainty snarled and swished around flicking her tail at the Guinea pig, but then Dainty turned her head again and replied "You, you, um, ah....... BANANA!" The Guinea pig stopped for a moment, thinking, then cracked up laughing so hard that she fell over, but she couldn't get back up because she had a stomach full of carrots and cabbage the spoilt pig! Dainty snarled, then said to herself "Oh man, I really need to work on my comebacks!" She sighed. "Yeah ya do!" Replied a chorus of voice's from behind her, as a herd of wild-beast scurried off. Dainty started back to her den, on the way she took time to watch all of the playful dogs with their energetic owners playing fetch across in the meadow. Dainty knew better than to go to other side of the fence, it wasn't safe, that was how she lost her father....HUMANS. The evil creatures, what's their problem? What did we ever do to upset them so much! Dainty thought to herself. She felt kinda lonely this was really how she always felt, but she knew well that she did not belong in the big city, she belonged in civilization with the other animals. Besides she would probably end up in a Zoo if she were to end up amongst people since she was the last of her kind alive. Dainty carried on to her hideout, a cave hidden by a large Willow tree. The branches hung low with the leaves covering the entrance the tree was old, and weather beaten with claw marks from Dainty had been practicing her fighting skills. It was Autumn so the leaves formed a soft cushiony, blanket covering the dry crusty ground. Dainty peered around to see if she could spot anybody who may see her, she was often very cautious to keep herself secret. She had lately been found by Casidy, Santana's owner and at a bad time too. Dainty was just about to make a meal out of the Guinea Pig when Casidy yelled out in fury at Dainty, with a quick flash of the "puppy eyes" Dainty was easily forgiven. Now Casidy has started leaving food round the back of her house to feed Dainty, she knows not to feed wild animals but she wants to help keep Dainty alive. Casidy is giving Dainty lots of attention and tries to spy on her while she eats to get a better look at this wonderful creature, but Dainty is very shy and scurries away when she realizes that she is being watched. Santana is very jealous now because Casidy is spending more time watching Dainty then playing with her, what is a pet supposed to do if their owner is being hypnotized by some dribbly, slobbery, smelly MUTT!? I mean I'm a hamster, cute, playful, gentle and uh um..........HER PET. Dainty is left two crunchy peeled carrots,Santana's favorite nibbles, freshly chopped ham, and some apple tart on the side. Dainty comes and takes what she wants from the bowl. By now Santana had had ENOUGH! She crawled into her hatch and called THE ANIMAL EXTERMINATOR. How did she do this? Well, nobody knows but she's a smart Guinea-Pig. When Dainty was returning home that night from a unsuccessful day's hunting, she spotted on her way an Irish Deer, now this looked appetizing to a Bear-dog. So quickly and quietly she pounced after the prancing deer. All she was thinking was ITS BIG and LOOKS DELICIOUS. Then out of the corner of her eye she spotted another good catch a three toed horse, her favorite! She decided this would be an easier catch. So off she went after the three toed horse, but she got so detracted on following and catching her prey that she didn't notice two hunters following closely behind her. Dainty followed her prey out into in grass field surrounding the forest. She was about to pounce at the horse when she heard a BANG and started to feel dizzy she spun around in circles dizzily then dropped to the ground. She had been shot by a tranquilizer gun! When she woke up again she realized that she was in a cage, at the Zoo. Outside the cage she heard voices, "Shot mate! This one's a BEAUT!" Commented an older man. He was tall and thin. His spectacles rested on his forehead, and he had a loud deep voice. Dainty growled, then started hopelessly clawing the sides of the cage. Would she ever get out. Would she ever see daylight again? Maybe she did. Oh, by the way make sure you don't have roses in your garden DAINTY LOVES THEM!!!!! BY MICHAELA===
