History: Calliope adopted by a (then) rich woman, who bought whatever she could just because she could. Eventually her money ran out; she was desperate for any she could have. She took to begging on the street and a man asked if he could buy the dog for his daughter, a lonely little girl. Her owner agreed and so she began living in her second home. One day, they threw a party for the child, and lots of children played with Calliope which agitated her. She snapped and bit a child, and was given away to another home. She was juggled around quite a lot like this, until one day she was about to be put down. However, a farmer who was a friend of her owners at the time thought she would be good at guarding property. At the farm, she met Rocco and his pup Courtney. Rocco and Calliope fell in love and had a litter of 4 pups, while Courtney was pushed out.
