Ranks
Leader- The canine that leads the pack, in charge of the laws and decisions, controlling the pack.
Deputy- Second in command, helping the leader make decisions.
Deputy-Apprentice- The deputy's helper. Whenever the deputy is too busy to do his job, this canine takes his/her place for awhile till they return. These canines usually don't take the deputy's place after they die, unless they were trained very well.
Scouts- These canines guard the territory in patrols.
Healers- The canines who help heal the wounded or sick.
Healer-Apprentice- Just like the deputy-apprentice, this canine learns from the healer and takes his/her place when she/he is busy. Usually this canine doesn't take the healer's place after they die, unless they were trained very well.
Protector- Sends out messages long distances and protects the pack in small battles. These canines keep most of the leader's secrets.
Warrior- The fighters of the pack, taking on the biggest battles.
Apprentices- Training to become a healer, warrior, or scout. Only one each season is chosen to become a protector.
