They had faced yet another menace. Unlike their previous battles, this hadn't gone well.

Most of them trotted alongside Ranma and his father, only departing long enough to scavenge food and returning when they could do so.

Genma found most of his objections fading as the animals failed to materialize the problems he'd foreseen. They were very discrete about using the facilities, didn't interfere for the most part in Ranma's training, and often were able to find campsites and fresh water with a few words.

They were very well trained animals and could put on a show with Ranma giving commands, and the money collected helped the cause of the training trip enormously. Which was the big part of Genma's tolerance for what he referred to as "escapees from a stewpot".
