Fight Flight and Bite!!!

Chester hasn't always been the valient leader of the pack but like the real world had to establish his position in a cut throat environment which was both figuritively and literally dog eat dog.

I will paint a picture of the environment, and the circumstances of what Chester the Cavalier king Charles Spaniel faced in becoming the Alpha Dog.

First of all chester was at a complete environmental disadvantage.

Chester had at least three environmental factors that he was confronted with.

1. Chester was placed in an environment that he had never been before.
2. He was placed in an environment that was the existing packs home territory.
3. He was placed in a physically unconfortable location whereabouts he was in extreme hot weather and also on a balcony where fear of heights could prevail.

So what happened?
Chester Acknowledged his disadvantages  but always knew that his advantages would be more than enough to gain position and leadership.

Chester's Attitude
When placed in a positional disadvantegde like dogs we can do either of "Fight or flight" with fight being the affermative.

Chester knew this and also knew that there is much more to fighting than latching on the throat of your adversary. If it were as simple as that and as one dimensional we could call it "Fight or bite".

Chester is a fighter and contained within this Fighting mentality are many positive strength based factors.

1.Chester has has a positive attitude
2.He always recognises what resources he has, knowing that they will always outway the challenge
3.Chester never loses sight of the things that he wants. More correctly Chester never loses dight or doubts the things he knows he can and will attain.

These mental factors were already apparent but produced fruit or evidence when dealing with his introduction to the pack.

Stay tuned to see how Chester rose to the top and became Alpha Dog.
