Hi, Teddy's safer with that little beast than if he had a bloodhound to watch him. Some context would help, but I'll try. Teddy is safe with that little animal, which protects him in some way.

  • A bloodhound would also take care of him, if a bloodhound were there, but this little animal will do a better job than a bloodhound could.

Dear friends,

We may perhaps also paraphrase thus:

«Teddy's safer with that little beast than he would be if he had a bloodhound to watch over him.»

Kind regards,
