retake what they believed was rightfully theirs. But we were prepared to fight back. As we lined up, ready to charge, I could feel the tension in the air. Boxer, with his massive frame and strong loyalty, stood by my side. "We fight for Animal Farm," he said, his voice deep. He was ready to protect Animal Farm, like myself. That's right, Boxer.

“They are taking Boxer to the knacker’s…..the word went round that from somewhere or other the pigs had acquired money to buy themselves another case of whiskey”(Orwell 108-111).
