DM is bit, suffers flank puncture wound from burke - as burke lets go to bite DM, dm tries to force him down/keep him down

Having spent the entire of his life in misery, it was befitting Dogmeat was an expert at doling it out. As he barreled towards the wolf and made contact with the wolf's flank, he was met by the barring of teeth and the visceral flash of pain -- pain that fueled him, pain that angered him.

Burke's teeth were worthy assailants, and served their purpose well. The cream of his pelt was quick to flush with dark and ominous red -- the pain was enough to cause Dogmeat to falter, but only for a second. Burke had released his clutch on his tender flank and Dogmeat, revitalized by impact, sought to crush his opponent downwards while he was distracted by Outlaw's approach.

With a guttural grunt the male shouldered himself downwards with a colossal heave, hoping to flatten the wolf as his neck was outstretched and pin him -- his teeth sought scruff (the same as before) and if he met his mark he would refuse (or try his damnedest) to release the struggling wolf. It was clear that Dogmeat had every intention of committing this wolf to death's fold, and unless Burke fought tooth and nail Dogmeat would see to it that Burke joined the dismal flock he had so carefully tended to.
