Name: Elk

Age: 2-3. Around the same age as Ricky

Breed: Greenland Dog

As my character: Adopted from Lunawings383. Ricky needs people to boss around.

Personality: Elk is a relatively bitter dog, due to his mistreatment as a puppy. He becomes jealous very easily and snaps at whoever says the wrong thing to him. He has a strong sense of pride about him as well and has brains to match his brawn

History: Elk was born and raised to be a sled dog. During his training as a puppy, he was treated very harshly. The whip was laid on him when he was trying his very best, but his master was a very ignorant man who thought of dogs almost like steam engines. He thought they could go as far as he wanted and keep at the pace he wanted.

History (cont.): During a race one day, Elk had slipped on some ice and fell, breaking his leg. Once it healed, his owner thought he was useless and sold him to a man in Nome who was rehabilitating a husky called Ricky. Elk would often fight with him when he first arrived, but eventually they began to tolerate each other, but this was due to the fact that their personalities were quite similar

History (cont.): Elk used to walk around Nome by himself quite frequently until Ricky was deemed fit for society. After that the two began to terrorize the town. Often times Ricky would go off on his own to go calling on Sandy, a husky mix. Elk went with him once, but the female wasn't home and Elk didn't feel like waiting around for herto come back with Ricky. Instead he followed the neighbor's dog, Dia and discovered that he had feelings for her. Now whenever Ricky goes to harass Sandy, Elk goes to see if Dia's around.
