With a shout, he slipped, one forepaw slipping over the precarious edge of the trail. Thankfully, he did not tumble over completely, yet as he backed up while holding his paw to his chest, he noticed a small trickle of blood emerge from a cut on his paw pad — a painful reminder of the dangers out in the wild.
