History

Nero was born with many other puppies on a Breeding Farm. Due to this, he doesn't know his parents, or any of his littermates, but he's assumed to have many. He was born into a bloodline of strong champion huskies, bred for their strength and endurance. 

Nero was one of the first of his litter to leave home. He was adopted by a nice man name Jarrod Smith. Nero was mostly used as a sled dog, on a team of four other huskies. They where Jarrod's only means of transportation, since the man lived in a cabin on the outskirts of Nome. When they weren't pulling their sled into town, they where Jarrod's beloved pets.

Sadly for Nero, after living happily with Jarrod for nearly a year, the man had to suddenlt move, due to an illness that struck his family in Anchorage. He sold his dogs to get enough money to support his move, and Nero was split apart from his friends, and beloved master, he would never see them again.

His next owner, was a man who's name Nero never learned. Nero was very uneasy when this man took him to an abandoned sawmill that the other residing canines their reffered to as "The Mill". He didn't understand the point of living in a cage next to cages and cages full of other dogs. His owner went away for awhile, he was thrown food by different people each day. When the man who bought him finally returned Nero was moved to an open pen with bright lights, surronded by people. He was part of a dog fight.

He was faced off against a small, but savage little canine that constantly attempted to latch onto Nero's throat. He ran around the ring for awhile, just avoiding the little dog, until the dog got ahold og the scruff of his neck and refused to let go. Terrified, Nero attacked, he was able to overpower the little canine but refused to kill him, he was later beaten for not doing so by the man who owned him.

Nero didn't have to live in The Mill very long, only a few monthes before it was shut down, and many dogs, including poor Nero where left abandoned. He was picked up by a fur trapper who happened to be in the woods. The man took him back to his cabin and made Nero his official hunting dog. He became friends with their neighbor's husky, a pretty girl named Aurora. 

Nero was actually bred with various females from the towns, mushers hoping for good sled dogs like the strong Nero. He didn't know any of these pups when they where born, he doesn't even know how many there are. He was finally able to win over Aurora and they became mates, after a year they had a healthy litter of pups. Sadly these pups would never get to know their father. Nero was bitten by a rabid raccoon while hunting with his master one evening. No one knew he was sick untile he slowly went mad and nearly killed his mate and pups in a dilusional fit of rage a sickness. His owner, Patrick was able to save Aurora and her pups but he was forced to kill Nero, who had become too dangerous.
