Tracker Dog Application Series 6
Username: MelodiousNocturne
Tracker Dog you want: #17
Name you'll give it: Constantine
Reason why you want it: Because they are awesome looking and I can't stand it any longer. I want one, and this one stood out to me. I love his glowing collar-marking.
Will it be used in any kind of story? Probably not, but maybe.
Describe its personality:
Constantine is helpful and slightly hyper. He loves to accept treats, but is wary of who he accepts them from. Despite being hyper and and cheerful, he does not easily become distracted, even in the middle of the loudest cities. He loves being around kids, despite he is mainly useful for finding people. He is generally patient and kind, but long missions can try his patience.
Write an introduction for your Tracker:
The yard. Usually I'd be happy to be here, but today was different. For me, the last few weeks had been different. Instead of the daily training regimen I'd come to expect, I was put in a cage and left there. The only times I came out were to go in the yard, and when a trainer would come to take me for a run to keep my muscles strong. New smells bombarded my senses, leaving colors I'd never seen before. The people here didn't bark orders, they cooed. Like the pigeons I chased in the city. I was so confused. Why would they be giving us, why would they give Trackers, to pigeon-people? Unless, we were the ones that weren't good enough? I paced, whining softly. Why would they train me so hard then? What had I done wrong? I slumped to the ground, burying my sensor bars in the grass.
A bell rang and the workers outside began calling us in. I walked back slowly, not eager to go back to the cage next to that overly-hyper, talkative young dog that yammered at me and everyone around him. I knew why he was there, but some of the rest of us? A worker clipped a lead on me, even though I didn't need it. He petted me softly and scratched my ears. Then he cooed at me. I huffed at his cooing and wished they'd just stop. "Come on boy, your training is done. The trainer's words echoed in my head. Done? Had I finished, or was I finished? I slunk into the cage next to the motormouth young 'pup' that never stopped talking. His mouth began running the second I entered the room, "Hey big guy, why so down? What's wrong? Why do you look so sad? Why-" I turned and snarled at him, my patience for him gone. He shrunk back, and I flopped on the cage floor. The other dog, the more quiet one, sighed and started small talk, asking how my trip to the yard had gone. I huffed, trying to get both of them to leave me alone. My mind began to lull into a shallow sleep.
My mind snapped awake, someone or something was touching me. My head snapped up, and my senses were filled with a warm honey color, someone soft and sweet. I leaned into thier gentle touch, relishing it. This person talked softly but didn't coo, it made me happy. Even the motormouth couldn't ruin this. Whoever it was she was kind. She had a commanding tone underlying her sweetness. I liked her instantly, "Come on Constantine." Constantine? Who? Was I Constantine? I tilted my head up at her, panting happily. My tail wagged and thumped the cage floor. She pulled gently on the heavy metal collar that served as weight-training, taking it off and replacing it with one that smelled dark and earthy. I shook myself and followed her out. I wasn't unworthy, I was being adopted.
Some time later....
I learned the the woman who adopted me was an ex-cop, and needed a companion to replace her K-9 unit who'd passed away some time before. I don't mind becoming a companion, the woman is sweet and gentle. She takes me for runs and gives me lots of treats, in exchange for volunteer work at the precinct. I love the volunteer work, helping other dogs, Tracker or not. It reminded me of the training sessions, and occasionally we'd even go on real assignments to help rookie cops and thier K-9 companions.
