The carnival sounds of the crowd flooded into Makeo's ears. The only thing louder was the rumble of paws-on-turf mixed with the heavy panting of the large running dogs he was surrounded by. Underneath him was his great companion, the famous black and white Great Dane known as Run. The pair had been riding together for longer than Makeo could remember and were considered almost royalty in the city of Canatopia and its surrounding lands. Away from the track Makeo was a wise and kind chimpanzee, but he and Run trained hard and out there on race day he was fiercely competitive. Their hard work paid off. He and Run had become masters of the one thing which meant as much to the population as the environment itself. Dog racing. And the race they treasured the most they had never won.
