History

Lia was a smart, loving house dog who grew up in a family of five: her parents, her brothers Philly and Baxter, her sister Ginny, and herself. After finding a hole in the backyard gate, Lia explored a little to far into the streets, and was hit by a car.

She died and went to heaven. Lia adjusted to life there, though she yearned to see her family again. After a  few years- or what seemed like years- Charlie Barkin was the newest angel to join heaven. Lia observed him from a distance, interested in this newcomer. He was witty, compelling, and charismatic. Lia watched him take the watch, and she watched as he serenaded Annabelle.

Charlie had been looking around heaven as he sang. As his fingers touched the knob allowing the winding of his watch, he spotted his parents. Missing them dearly, he hid the watch and dove for them. Annabelle flew off, leaving Charlie to relish in his meeting with Burt and Loni. Lia had been good friends with both Barkins, and they introduced her to Charlie.

Falling for his suave, charismatic personality, the two fell in love. During one night, looking over the world, Charlie and Lia talked about what they missed on Earth. She talked about seeing her family, and how she had been hit. Charlie sympathized with her and told her she had died an unfair death. Pulling out his watch and another he had snatched a while ago, he told her they could both go back.

With that, Charlie took her paw, and together they twisted the watches. Lia then joined Charlie in his quest to make money, realizing he wasn't the soft and loving dog he had made himself into. She abandons him and is kidnapped by Carface, who puts her up for ransom. Carface later traps Ann Marie. Lia frees herself once Charlie arrives, and he pushes Ann Marie out of the fiery boat. Lia stays behind to rescue Charlie. Once she finds him at the bottom of the lake, he had already "drowned", but she carries him to the surface.

Before she broke the water, Lia shoved Charlie up and onto a platform, and she leapt up with him, watching as her watch stopped. Lia and Charlie visited Ann Marie and Itchy, saying their goodbyes. Once Annabelle called them home, Charlie took Lia's hand, and they leaped out of the window, returning to heaven.
