Notes -
If you were living through a societal breakdown/apocalypse (well, the kind that doesn't immediately kill you) and you had to pick a canine companion, what would you opt for?
It would definitely be a German shepherd for me. Loyal to a fault, smart and intimidating to strangers without being bloodthirsty. I miss mine a lot, but he had a good life and that's what counts. I'd expect a GSD would do a good job keeping you safe.
It certainly wouldn't be my lab, I tell you. An absolute lovable doofus who traded brains for brawn, turning out 50% larger than the average lab.
If I could disable friendly fire against my party and me by training it (because everyone who’s not a doggo racist knows it’s the owner, not the breed): a pitbull.
Not only would it provide excellent deterrent and defense (offense can also be the best defense), it would be a constant heatseeking missile for small game animals, thus providing recurring sources of food. And well, perhaps an occasional baby or child here or there, but hey, meat can be scarce in this apocalyptic wasteland; if they didn’t want to get nannied, they shouldn’t have triggered my sweet velvet hippo by making a sudden noise or movement, or breathed. Even if we don’t consume the long pork, we can use it for trading.
I’d name it Zeus, Rocky, Nala, or Luna and forage for a flower crown for it to wear. It’d be so cute and wholesome 😊
