Gender {of pet}: Male
Breed/Species {of pet}: Australian Shepherd
I'm not used to having dog characters, so I just though an Australian shepherd suited this little guy.
Personality {of pet}:
Overview:
In one word: Hopefu;
In a full sentence: A heplful and willing farm boy, who will never give up.
To himself: "I always try extra hard not to make a mess, and I like to help people in every way I can."
To others: A sweet, yet slow little dog, who seems to always get himself into trouble accidentally.
"Now let's go a bit deeper...
Eager
Shoe is always ready to face whatever comes at him. He's known for being prepared, and excited to face on new challenges. He always anticipates new adventures, and new friends to be made. Whether it be learning a new skill, befriending a new animal, or exploring a new part of the farmyard, Shoe is always looking forward to it.
Clumsy
Shoe is always getting himself into sticky situations, not because he's a trouble maker, but because he's just clumsy. The poor little puppy always has his head in the clouds, and isn't very attentive to his surroundings. It isn't uncommon to find him bumping into the barn and tripping over the water trough. Even when he makes a mess, he always has he best of intentions.
Helpful
Shoe loves to lend a helping hand around the sheep farm. Whether it be keeping the sheep calm while their being sheared or feeding the chickens at dawn, Shoe is always up to the challenge. He'll gladly take on extra chores, without the promise of payment. Even if his clumsiness makes matters worse, his heart is always in the right place.
Wholesome
Shoe wants no part in anything unlawful. If it doesn't comply 100% with the rules, Shoe won't wanna do it. He's a decent, kind-hearted dog with a true desire to do what's right. Shoe is often described as being virtuous and salubrious, always encouraging others to do the right thing.
Gullible
Even though this innoncent dog has the right intentions, his childish nature makes him easy to manipulate. He isn't the brightest bulb in the candelabra, and he is known for being susceptible to tricks and pranks. This naive, yet sweet, dog is always struggling to resist his peers cruel tricks and lies.
Hopeful
He may be a bit of a klutz, but he's an optimisic little fellow. Nothing can convince Shoe that the situation is hopeless. Even in dire straits, Shoe has hope. It's a tenacious desire to keep on trucking. His spirits can never be brought down, and he's convinced he'll always be able to turn a frown upside down.
Background/History {of pet}:
The air was still and dry, sweltering heat covered the arid land in throat-parching thirst. Stumbling along the rough terrain was a lonesome pup. His light brown fur was riddled with patches of coarse sand, and bags hung beneath his eyes. He was a scrawny little thing, thin enough that you could count his ribs. His pawpads were bruised and scraped from the harsh road, and mud stained his white legs.
The pitiful little creature staggered along, feeling more dead than alive. His muscles throbbed, his bones burned, and his nose was absent of any moisture. But beneath his weary, worned down exterior, layed hope. Not very much of it, but it was there. A single flickering flame, that burned inside him. It was his drive, his motivation. He knew that with this hope glowing inside him, like a lantern in the darkest cavern, he would find his home.
Everyday, from dawn 'til dusk, this scrappy puppy trudged along the dusty, desolate roads. What was his mission? To find a home. Not just shelter, but a real home. One with a human to care for him. A kind-hearted human with a cozy little farmhouse, and a freshly cooked dinner for him every evening, and a hearty breakfast every morning. This was what this little puppy was searching for, this was what hope would help this little puppy to find.
And what was this hopeful puppy's name? Well, he had none. He was just a lonesome little stray, there was no one to give him a name. This poor puppy had heard many of the nasty dingoes and bull frogs call him many names before. They all would shout at him, "yella'-belly" and "weakling" and "mongrel", but never had anyone given him a name.
So, this nameless puppy trudged down the road, when a tantalizing smell hit his nose. The little puppy looked up, his sense starting to go nuts as the smell grew stronger. He looked straight ahead, his bloodshot eyes widening as the site of a steaming hot applepie was set out on a windowsill of a shabby little farmhouse. The puppy could feel his mouth watering, wet with desire. He trotted up to the windowsill, his senses going crazier, and his hope growing stronger. His stomach was empty and cold, and the thought of rich, tart applepie had his tummy roaring.
There it was, mere inches awayfrom him, a steaming, sweet apple pie. The puppy reached up, ready to snatch the whole pie, until he felt his stomach twist in disgreement. If he was to just to take the pie, that would be stealing and the puppy knew that stealing was very wrong. What if someone had made the pie for their sickly grandma? Or what if a mother had lovingly baked the pie, as a special treat for their children? The puppy slowly backed down from the windowsill, knowing he could not take the pie.
Suddenly, a deep growl resonated behind him. The little puppy glanced over his shoulder, gazing in awe at the scarred, beaten rottweiler that was sauntering forward. The mighty canine made a low growl directed at the trembling puppy. In a flash, he had jumped up and grabbed the pie in his mighty jaws. As soon as the pie was in his possession, he scoffed it down voraciously.
The little puppy gazed at the rottweiler in shock, horrified at his criminal act. "Crikey! That wasn't very nice, you know."he yipped at the dog.
The beefy rottweiler laughed in reply, his breath a mixture of cinnamon and foul garbage. "It's a dog eat dog world, kid."the rottweiler grunted, bits of pie crust clinging to his lip. The rottweiler gave the puppy a harsh, meaningful stare, before sprinting off into the corn field.
Dogs eat other dogs? the puppy thought to himself. That's awful! The shaken pup swallowed hard at the thought of having to eat another innoncent dog.
"HEY! Where in blue blazes did my apple pie go?!" a sonorous voice shouted from inside the farmhouse. The front door flung open violently, and framed in the doorway was a portly, middle aged lady who looked about as shabby as her farmhouse. "You litte rat! Come here so I can teach you a lesson!" she blared at the quivering puppy, readying a hunter's rifle.
Crikey! thought the puppy as he made a dash for the corn field. He plunged into the corn stalks, weaving his way through the maze of tall, sturdy stalks. Corn silk entangled him, clinging to his fur as he struggled to maneouver through the field.
BANG! BANG! the gunshots boomed behind him, followed by hefty footsteps.
Use {for pet}: A proud member of my character family, along with being a new character in my story, "Dust Collectors". I would absolutely adore this little fellow, and display him with the rest of the gang on my character page.
