This player moves around the ring outside touching each of the others on the back while saying:- I have a little dog and he won't bite you; until he at last decides to change by saying "I have a little dog and he will bite you", whereupon the one "bitten" chases the "biter" and having caught him becomes in turn the owner of the dog.
