HI I'M HOWL AND THIS IS ME:
Quiet. This dog will not bark unless there is a dire need to. Instead he communicates through body language and yips and mumbles - something humans find desirable in a pet if they don't want to be kept up all night by whining. This being said, he is very vocal when approached by strangers and male dogs.
Loyal. An inherited trait which has shot his relatives into stardom over tha last few decades. This can often be interprated as territorial which is true to an extent - he doesn't like you getting too close to his stuff or pack. To those he likes, you will not find a better companion as he will live, fight and die for you - that is if he feels you would do the same.
Independant. He does not need to be fussed over. If you wanted a dog that would play ball with you, give you kisses and cuddles then you should have bought yourself a Labrador. Howl is happiest when given a purpose, even if it is as simple as making sure other dogs don't come into his territory. He takes promises to heart and will make sure he gets results on his own - even if said promise isn't needed anymore.
Intolerant. True to his quiet nature, instead of giving you the honor of a warning grown he will bite without warning if provoked so it is wise not to put your hands near his dish or threaten him in any manner. With his hunting nature, he is likely not to leave it as a simple bite either.
Dominant. As the only dog in his household, he was used to being boss and will not accept another fighting for his authority. Luckily, his owner was female so he sees this as little threat and instead accepts her as a mate figure whom he loves and adores but at the same time he has little respect for a creature that spends most of her time staring at a black box with pictures on it. Since he lost him home, he is mourning over her loss.
Humble. He is proud of his home and his life but he will not gloat over something that you will most likely never see. He figures that his appearance and intellect alone will give you some idea of his living conditions. He rarely talks about what happens in his domain but when he does it is never in a resentful way.
Flirtacious. As a rule, he is rarely amongst other dogs as he doesn't suit well in social groups but he is more than happy with some one-on-one conversation with the opposite sex to the point that his affinity with the ladies made his owner consider getting a female companion for him but this never came to light as it turned out he was into 'certain ladies' and not others resulting in some pretty nasty first dates.
Howl's parentage is a prime example of people who know nothing about dogs deciding that they knew everything. Howl's mother was a pedigreed Japanese Akita owned by a young couple and their five year old child living in a nice suberb on the outskirts of the city. The male owner had a friend who had just bought an Akita and had the brilliant idea that two Akita dogs together would make an Akita - true enough it did but there would be no papers for these mutt puppies as he later found out. She gave birth to four puppies, two brindle, one red and one white but all were healthy and when the time came to sell them the first one went with ease, then the second one but after that things started to go quiet so he re-advertised claiming the pups to be pure American Akitas as they resembled the father the most. sure enough, the other puppy was adopted out with no complaint then finally it was Howl's turn and he went away to live with a man in the city. Things were okay for a while but as he grew older he had the idea that his beloved dog would be a great stud with his good looks and advertised his services. Unfortunately, the first person to show up was an american akita breeder and noticed instantly that this dog was not what he was advertised as and asked to see some papers from the previous owners - which they refused of course.
Of course he was angry that he paid so much money for a mutt but he didn’t hold it against Howl. Instead he went to a reputable breeder and acquired a female Japanese Akita which he assumed would make a good companion for Howl - she didn't. Within weeks of acquiring this pup, he had sent her to the vets and was ordered to be separated from her until he could be re-introduced to her. In this time however, Howl's owner had broken up with his live-in girlfriend and as she was the one who paid for the pedigree akita she demanded her return. Not willing to give up his prized pedigree puppy it was a case of 'Howl or nothing' - she took Howl. It was not long after this they moved to Genesis to begin their own lives that the disaster happened. His human, already weak and frail from the stress of moving and change of life fell victim to its claws. In the panic of trying to dispose of the epidemic, Howl was ignored to stalk the building he had come to call home until there was no humans left to guard. With a heavy heart he resigned himself to the life of a stray to which he is today,
