Name:Ruthy
How she got her name:Ruthy was the name of my fathers German Shepard from when he was a boy.
Gender:Female
Age:22
Background:Childhood:I shiver as the rain pours down from the sky, wishing for it to stop soon. I crawl under a bench on the sidewalk and curl my tail around my paws, as a white vehicle pulls up and I see a man step out in an odd uniform with an umbrella in his hand. He squats down and looks at me as I try to avoid eye contact. He pulls a Ziploc bag out of his pocket and takes out a piece of food, holding it out to me. I haven't eaten in days and decide to give in, taking the food from him and gnawing on it. "Poor thing." He says as he picks me up and walks over to his vehicle that says "Police" on the side. I don't retaliate because his intentions seem good. He sets me in the front car seat, not seeming to care that i'm soaking wet. He closes the door and closes the umbrella, putting it in the back seat and proceeds to the drivers' seat. He starts driving, as to where, I have no clue. I stare through the window and watch the rain fall as my eyes follow the windshield wipers. He parks at a building that has the same word on the sign as the side of the car, "Police". He gets out and takes me into his arms, closing the door with his elbows and walks into the Police Office. "Pretty bad weather out there, huh Cullen?" A young looking man says, chuckling at his soaked uniform. "Cullen" or so the man says, takes me into a small room with a desk and a few pictures on it. He dries me off and sets me on a dog bed. "You can sleep here, we'll find you a good home." He says with a smile as he walks out of the room and shuts the door.
Teen Years:"Sit.", "Heel.", "Guard." The police officers commanded the dogs to do. Officer Cullen was instructing a tall, muscular dog, I laid my head on my paws and watched intently, wondering what it was like. Officer Cullen would leave with for hours at a time, usually with one of these dogs. I wished so badly to come with him, but he never gave me the opportunity to accompany him on his missions. The only thing we really did together was take car rides, like when he scooped me up and took me in when I was young. After the training is over Cullen and I walk back to his office and I spot a collar with a star, what Cullen calls a "Badge". It's like the ones that the dogs wore. I stand on my hind legs and pull it off of the desk and unto the floor. It's supposed to fit adult K9s, so I slip it on easily over my my head. I look up happily at Cullen, my tail swaying back and forth. "Oh, you wanna train with the big dogs?" He smiles at me approvingly. "Training starts tomorrow."
First mission:This is what I have trained for. My first mission. This is my chance to prove myself to Cullen. We walk up to the apartment building and take the elevator up to the fifth floor. "532.. 532.. Ah ha!" Cullen looks up from his paper and knocks on the door, drawing his weapon ready to defend himself. No answer, he knocks again. No answer. He kicks the door down, and I can smell a strong scent of some substance. "Freeze!" Cullen says as he points his gun at him, watching him attentively. The man in the apartment meerily snickers and throws some foreign object at Cullen, and that's all I remember.
Meeting new family:After finding out that the blow to the head with the object killed Cullen, I had to go to a different home. I would never forgive myself for what happened that night, I always feel like I could have done something. The young Police Officer took me into a apartment building, eerily looking like the one Cullen and I had went into a few months ago. We went into an a apartment and a male that looked like he was in his mid-twenties stood there, with a giggling baby on the ground."Doggie!" The baby giggled. "This is your new home, girl."
I now live with Carver and his 5 year old son, Koda.
