THEY'RE ANARCHISTS!

When a book turns Sherlock Holmes and Watson into mice -- mice! -- you can expect cuteness and talking down. Plus, of course, the hound of the Baskervilles, if he has any presence at all, is also reduced in size. So probably the vole of the Baskervilles.
Or the shrew of the Baskervilles. Truly frightening, not.

Dog lovers will be aghast.

And rightfully so.

Smaller creatures are sometimes less effective than one would expect. A reduction in size is, often, comensurate with an increase in fluff.

So an angry rabbit, for instance, will lack significant 'gravitas'.


Despite that, one should not poo-poo them. A rabbit can destroy your couch more effectively than a child, and small creatures, while sometimes deceptively cute and loveable, have teeth.
I got bitten by a mouse once. I didn't hold it against him or her, but I was cautious afterward.


And fur, as is well known, is a good place to hide a shiv.

If I saw the fellow above, I'd be careful.

Better safe than sorry.
