Tradition
Wild dog tribes have a lot of different kind of interactions between each other. It's common for a tribe to send one of their own members to one of the other tribes as an offering to deepen their ties. The new member needs to be fit and helpful to be accepted, so they usually face a whole tribe's worth of trials and challenges. If the elders think the new member is worthy, they hold a feast to celebrate them, and select one of their own to continue this tradition.

Scouting
The huntresses became aware of rumors about a new wild dog tribe in their kingdom. Matters like this can't wait, they had to act and find out their intentions. The fastest member of the huntresses was selected for this mission. It took her an unexpectedly long time to return with the report, but it seems like this new tribe is nothing to worry about. Further negotiations might be needed to discuss their rights to the hunting grounds.

Bargain

Even if they don't hunt that much nowadays, they still hold a big chunk of the hunting grounds as a bargaining chip. Luckily they select their bosses by might and not negotiation skills. They are easy to read, and always want the same thing.

Gratitude

The crocodiles doing this favor for everyone as they and their ancestors always did. There are a lot who wants to show them their gratitude, but their watch can't be interrupted, for the safety of others.
