History: Bessie's parents had been made to breed to make pure-blooded racing dogs. All her other siblings were sent to the pet-shop yet she was sold to a man who wanted to train her to be a racing hound. The man put Bessie through a lot of hard training, but she eventually grew into an obidient racing dog. He soon made bets with other men and their dogs to have them race, and Bessie won every time. Bessie enjoyed running, and soon grew to love her owner, as she thought he cared for her. But he was only using her to gain money.

When Bessie eventually lost a race, she excepted to be comforted by her owner, but instead he cast her out, calling her a stupid worthless mutt. Heartbroken and betrayed, Bessie ran through the streets. Not eating for days, she soon grew skinnier and skinnier. But by a stroke of luck, The Tramp bumped into her. Surprisingly he took pity on the young greyhound and stole her some food. Thanking him, Bessie soon grew to like Tramp, but only as a friend. As days went by, the Tramp started showing Bessie how she could get food, and the two would team up to run riot across the town. But one day the Tramp stopped visiting her, alone and sad, Bessie moved through town, searching for him. She never found him.

Then, out of nowehre, she was caught by the dog-catcher and sent to the pound. Bessie hated it in there, she knew that even though she wore a collar, she would never get free. But miracilously, she did. She was just lying in one of the dog cells, when a young girl with gray eyes and short blonde hair wandered into the pound. Instantly the girl ran over to Bessie's cell and let her out, confused but happy, the greyhound started rubbign up agaisnt the girl, tail wagging. It all happend it a blur, the girl smuggle Bessie out and took her home with her. She begged her parents untill they let her keep her, and Bessie was relieved. The little girl was so nice and kind to her. Always playing with her, and giving her some of her dinner under the table even though she wanst suppoused to.

Bessie loved living with the girl, but one day, she was thrown out and the family moved away, she never saw her girl again. So she started living on the streets again, she knew how to survive now, but she felt so lonely.

Relation to LATT: One of Tramps old friends.
