Personality: Very cheerful and enthusiastic, Sepp takes any task he is given with enthusiasm and completes any jobs he is given with care. He is very much a people pleaser and wants to look cool in front of his older siblings, but he often fails in his attempts. He doesn’t like to be babied and wants to be treated like an adult. However, he sometimes makes rash decisions, and his impulsiveness causes his parents to view him as an immature pup who still needs to grow and learn.

Likes: Running, being a house pet, napping, exploring, adventuring

Dislikes: Being the baby of the family, being treated like a kid, dogsledding

History: Sepp was the youngest of Togo and Fox’s puppies, as well as the only puppy in his litter. Thus, he was very much the baby of the family — he had four older siblings, and they were all way older than him. Because of this, he was babied a lot by his parents and even his siblings, and also other dogs who weren’t in his immediate family. He liked the attention as a pup, but when he got older, he despised all the smothering and wanted to be treated like an adult.

    He tried to prove his maturity by joining a sled team like his father and most of his older siblings. However, he performed very poorly as a sled dog, and realized maybe this job just wasn’t right for him. So, he remained as a house pet. He loved his humans and their young children, but wished he could be a cool racing dog like TJ and Bilka. However, it just wasn’t for him, and he had to come to terms with this. He wanted to find another way to get his peers to treat him like an adult, and figured maybe if he got a girlfriend, everyone would see how grown-up he was. So, he decided to go out with a husky named Tundra who lived in his neighborhood. However, things didn’t work out, because Sepp wasn’t the most responsible boyfriend, so he was back at square one.

    Sepp made many more attempts to look older than he seemed, but they were all in vain. Eventually, he just gave up, but drifted apart from his family since he was tired of them constantly babying him. When Togo confronted him about it, Sepp told Togo how he felt. Togo apologized for the way he treated Sepp, and promised he would talk to the rest of the family about it. He informed Sepp that the way to look mature was not to get a girlfriend or be like his older siblings, but to make good choices and always do the right thing. Sepp took these words to heart, and from that day on, he worked to become the best version of himself, and he succeeded.
