Another thing that Elwood had learned about the puppies was that, while they did not yet have access to their senses of hearing or sight, they used their mouths to explore the world. Little Nightjar inched forward until his blunt snout bumped right into Elwood's foot, and then, naturally, his response was to gum his toe. The sensation was peculiar -- it tickled, but not enough to make the Beta want to shake him off -- but it didn't last for long.

He then extended his other forepaw, providing a second obstacle for Nightjar should he choose to continue his mission.
