Pup is my main fursona. He’s a dalmatian Doggg with a big heart and a curious streak.
Pup is the ONLY Dalmatian Doggg in existence and that's actually a part of his lore. When scientists tried to bring back a lost pattern (dalmatian print) from old-world dogs, they used Dalmatian DNA in one of the first batches. It didn’t go well... Most of the litter came out unstable, violent, mutated, and beyond help and were terminated.
Except for one.
Pup came out small, quiet, and gentle, totally unlike the others. The scientists shut the project down and kept him close, unsure why he turned out different but unwilling to risk another try. He’s the only one like him, and he always will be.
What's Pup Like?
Pup’s got the energy of a curious little gremlin mixed with the heart of a loyal best friend. He’s the kind of dog who would eat every single sock you own and then bring you the last soggy one as a peace offering with his tail wagging. He means well, he just doesn’t always think things through. He’s playful, weirdly expressive, and loves being close to people he trusts, even if that means sitting way too close with a mouth full of sock lint.

What Even Is a Doggg?
Dogggs are what dogs became after thousands of years alone, without humans. They adapted, mutated, and changed. Some got smarter, some got stranger, and a few got terrifying. One striking thing about Dogggs is that they have no eyes, no nose, and no definable muzzle, it’s just how their species evolved, relying on other senses instead.
Retro Dogggs are different. They’re created in labs using old-world dog DNA and advanced genetic engineering, trying to bring back some lost traits. The main and most noticeable difference is that Retro Dogggs have longer muzzles and noses. Pup is one of these Retro Dogggs, a rare success among many failures.
