Two dogs behind a fence watch in astonishment as a small dog leaps across a garden into a hole in front of a massive tough barking dog and runs off with a giant bone stolen from the hole.
The Scottish Word:

Docher.

Ha! Weel may ye raik aff on the wings o a prize but docher’ll win the day ahn that’s mha middle name.

I’m roosed noo – run wee man run, I’ll be richt on yer tail.

Translate:

Docher: durability, stamina, power of endurance.

I say, I just dropped that bone in the hole you little monkey!

Ha! Well may you speed off on the wings of a prize but stamina will win the day and that is my middle name.

I’m wound up now – run little man run, I’ll be right on your tail.
