Examples from texts

One man, a squat, manic creature with one eye closed by a huge scar, got close enough to pound one animal with a fat branch, causing the dog to yelp and stumble.
Ein Mann, ein bulliger Typ, dessen eines Auge von einer großen Narbe geschlossen war, kam ganz nah heran und versetzte einem Tier einen Schlag mit einem Knüppel, so dass der Hund aufjaulte und strauchelte.
