Usage examples of beowulf.
I limited it to males only, I could take only Beowulf, Robin, Sinbad, and one other dog--maybe even you, Frodo.
The way Beowulf saw it, dogs were supposed to protect their human leader--not the other way around.
Beowulf was not entirely comfortable with Frodo in such an important position in the team, but his primacy within the pack made it impossible for Beowulf to assign that all-important role to the more steady Sinbad.
Actually, when Beowulf considered it more carefully, he had to admit obnoxiousness was a trait that Sinbad had very nearly outgrown.

Second, or so it seemed to Beowulf, Ray wanted to believe that he had found a safe haven, a place where he could let his hair and his guard down.
While Ray, Ake, and Kate Golnikov focused most of their attentions on their hosts--and Beowulf fretted-the other dogs marveled at the impressive scenery.
