Otter Creek bing bang boom

This reminds me of a part in GoT where The Hound does something similar...

“Atka and Sos protect me,” the boy protested. He would not die here. The great bears would not let him. He would find a way to survive, and nobody could stop him. Atka was a more kind being, and while Sos was cruel, he did like to taunt and tease those who lived. It was because of them that he was alive, and it was because of them that he would continue his life onward.

“If you help me break the ice in the creek, we might catch some fish,” Artax explained. He could not do it himself. The ice was too thick, and he worried that if he pounced too hard, he would fall through and drown beneath the frozen water. He needed somebody bigger. And although he did not think that this wolf was much stronger than himself, he was bigger.
