AXEL OF UNDETERMINED CLAN

1 YEAR | MALE | 28" | 120 LBS | ANATOLIAN SHEPHERD | FACECLAIM |

PERSONALITY ⚘

♔ It takes an hour to appreciate someone ♔

As a purebred, Axel was born with the same instincts as his father, and his father's father. He is loyal, protective, and intelligent. A perfect ambassador for his breed. At least, that's how it was before the great earthquake. Without a flock to guard or a human to tell him what to do, Axel had to learn what it meant to be his own dog. While he still follows those ancient instincts, he has become quite stubborn and free spirited. While he has no desire to lead, he doesn't willingly submit to others. There are very few who can tell him what to do, but if he comes to respect another who can wrangle his pigheadedness, they will have a loyal follower who will defend his "flock" with his life.

HISTORY ⌛

≡ A day to love them ≡

Born in a litter of seven pups, Axel spent his early years in carefree comfort. At ten weeks old, he went to live with his new owners on a goat farm. Here he met his mentor, Brutus, a twelve year old shepherd who was tasked with training the boy. While it took him some time to adapt to his new living situation, Axel took to guarding his flock relatively easily. Brutus was a fantastic teacher and soon the pair had become practically inseparable. They spent their days out in the field with their goats, watching over the stupid creatures and protecting them from the random predator who dared to trespass on their land. His first year of life came and went quickly and Axel grew into a strong, independent watchdog. With Brutus getting on in age, Axel was left in charge of the flock and he took to this job with pride... but it was not meant to last.

Hard times fell upon the farm and with a heavy heart, Axel's human had to sell the land. With no goats to watch, he and Brutus were no longer needed. The money needed to care for two large dogs was just too much and so they were brought to the local animal shelter and abandoned. For two months, the pair stayed in their cages as humans passed them by every day. Then, one fateful day, an earthquake flipped their world upside down. For Axel, it felt like an eternity. The earth trembled with rage while people screamed and dogs cried out in panic. Then, all at once, it stopped. The shaking and the screaming.

Somehow, he had survived. The cage that had been his prison had crumbled and he managed to squeeze his body through the chain link fence. At long last, he was free, but he couldn't leave just yet. It didn't take him long to find Brutus, and after several hours of digging, biting, and clawing at the metal, he too was free. Alongside several other dogs, the two shepherds escaped the shelter and found themselves totally alone. But Brutus was a dog with a plan. With Axel by his side, they somehow managed to find their old home, or at least, what was left of it. The house had collapsed, leaving nothing behind but a pile of rubble. The dogs had tried to dig through the wreckage in the hopes of finding their humans, but it was all for naught.

It was clear that they were going to have to move on. Without their humans, there was no food. They would die! Axel tried telling Brutus this fact, but the old dog was as stubborn as a mule. He refused to leave his post. Deep down, they both knew he was too old to survive without the aid of man, but Axel refused to admit it. It wasn't until a fight broke out between the two of them and the older dog used the last of his strength to chase off his younger companion. Axel knew he would never see his friend again. With a heavy heart, he allowed his paws to take him somewhere new, somewhere he could survive.
