Gus tortures Red almost systematically. He chews on h is claws, jumps up to lick his face and nibble on his nose, sometimes he tries to climb on Red’s back I think he wants to take a nap  up there where it is soft and warm. He also grab’s Red’s tail and tries to play tug of war with.

These are things that could get a tiny puppy maimed or eaten, but Red is saintly, if he is egregiously provoked he barks once and Gus flees, but otherwise, he just sighs and accepts this torment as a facet of life. Red is all good, and all heart. And Gus is lucky to have a patient big brother like that. Fate wants nothing much to do with him, and he doesn’t try any of that with her.
