Elijah

History
Elijah’s life as a street dog started out rough like all the others. Born the runt of his litter, the only grace his mother had given him was a name and her milk. At 5 months a young Elijah was abandoned and left behind unable to keep up with the rest of the family as they moved from den site to den site. A week or two pass and a fellow stray finds the starving puppy and takes them under their wing becoming Elijah’s foster parent. The dog teaches him all he needs to know for the next few years before finally parting ways under tragic circumstances. It was at that time Elijah met Tommy, a savage bull dog who takes his hind leg in a fight. Elijah is lucky to escape with his life and even more lucky to be tended to by a vet. A month or so would pass and he eventually returns to life on the streets, he would roam the country side to he loved to chase the chickens and ducks at one of the farmers houses.

A year passes and Elijah would meet a sassy little dog named Ivy. A stray much like himself but unlike him she had traveled far becoming lost years ago, losing her collar in the process. The pair traveled together for some time and eventually Elijah became smitten with her and vice versa. It was in a neighboring town that they would eventually settle down to live. Ivy would take the first step and finds them a nice couple to live with and there they lived.

Personality
A brave dog at heart living on the streets has of course toughened up Elijah but that doesn’t make him any the less kind and sweet to his friend. He’s your typical don’t judge a book by its cover type of fellow. Elijah has his bad side of course food aggression is a common problem with his owners and they are very wary giving him treats. He’s feisty and cocky, He snaps and barks at those lower than him. He won't hesitate to put someone in their place. In the back of his mind he wonders if one day Tommy will return and find him and take more then just his leg this time. So he has his worries.
