I adore dogs. My dogs have better lives than most people. Which is why I don't put them in books.

Every animal in my books (cart horse, cat, whatever) is functionally immortal. Is there a massive battle? Characters literally starving? Don't worry the horse is safe. Is there a pet? If-

Cats find their way in literally everything I write :D This time I would like to talk about the three cats of the LI, Corentin, in my gothic romance graphic novel set in France, just before the French Revolution. Corentin is somewhat eccentric non-titled art dealer from a noble 1/3

Switching over to animals, with my alternating everyday thing, to keep switching it up. This time it's kitties! (Anthros also welcome these days, too!) 🐱🐯🦁 Got any cats in your work? If not, a favorite one from other work?

WIP 1: well I already mentioned the Blood Wolf yesterday. So…the MC has two shibas? Lol.

WIP 2: Dog adjacent. Demon Lord B.R. Is the beastmaster of hell. She has a special fondness for canines in particular. She acts like a patron deity to werewolves-

#Critterary 6: Like most alternate Earths, canines abound! The peoples of the Turquoise Coast know both wild jackals and domesticated dogs, but Imperial scholars say they're dwarfed by massive wood jackals that roam the dense southern forests in packs all the way to the tusk-grazer dominated tundra.

Hi! This sounds so fun! I'm Karkki and I always have animals in my work, both fantasy or historical. It's probably because I've always had cats and lived around animals I can't imagine life without them. In my main wip animal characters have pretty big roles as companions and familiars-
Day 1
It's already that time?! Pretty nervous to be hosting one of these, so I'll try my best 😅

Welcome! Say hi! No AI! Introduce your work, use of creatures, etc. Let's have fun celebrating the Earthly, mythological, and enjoy a chill month together! 🦊🦉🐲

One of the Named Gods, Aisling, god of the trance. He takes the form of a slender dog with long legs, his sleek coat iridescent and shifting in color, dotted with stars. Stories say he takes this form to run across the sky, delivering dreams to the sleeping and visions to the hypnotized.

#Critterary 6. Canines!

Feroxi are a spirit essence resembling a large fox. They're the royal guard for the holiest of Diagonians. They have long white and blue fur which illuminates a white glow, turquoise eyes that seep smoke and turquoise teeth. They can also channel and supercharge Dia magic

My stories don't have any dogs as of yet, but they'll probably include some at some point in the future.

I think I missed a few of these. Tbh, the only dog in a story of I've actually written, is Lilly from main WIP.
She's a shepherd dog Lawcket's Dad gifted to his Mom, as a puppy before Lawcket was born.🐶🎁

I had no art of the aralez, so enjoy my 10 minute doodle.

The nicest antagonists ever are bribing my main character with a holy dog whose kisses heal the wounded!

Stop cooing! These are violent, adult oriented books! I just drew him quickly.🥺

This here is a Zefhond, which is a wind-aspected beluan that has a "compact" form that looks a like a corgi.

Their true forms are more like giant, windy demon wolves, but long ago they found that having humans raising their young improved fitness. The cute forms are to trick us.

Siyavash is a Bakharwal dog who's being fostered by Alan (or is Alan the one being fostered?) at the start of the fourth book. Triple Strike features a number of pets, but he's definitely the Goodest Boy as you'd expect.

#TheDragonblood: Dogs, wolves, foxes, all can certainly be found in the area.

I said I might return to this one line from the fairy forest, which features wolves:

And with them are various animals – wolves, badgers, bears, boars and lynxes, all magical and unfriendly-looking.

Not as many as I have cats 🤦‍♀️

In the fantasy, one of the gargoyles, Lucia, is a dogling (chimerical part dog creature), and later we see a winged dog.

We also encounter a foxling (human/fox hybrid with many fluffy tails. I imagined her as a bit of a kitsune spirit.)

#Critterary There are dog people in Eldana! :D Specifically, they're the wulf, a wolf-headed people who largely live in the still-wild western half of Eldana. Admittedly, they're less developed than the hrimurr, but I *do* know this: (1/?)

Oh boy, I will start off with a “sort of” honorable mention.

In #HeirsofAligheri Mara has a Phantom that she can create called Wolf. He was designed after being told they could not have a real dog. (Mother’s health condition). (He is tangible and tactile. “Phantom” is used a little loosely). 1/2

I don't have a regular canine in my current story, so I must mention my favorite fictional dog: Missile from the video game Ghost Trick, a very cute and *very* loyal Pomeranian.

Yes, I do have dogs in my work! SEEK SHELTER NOW has two of them, Luna and Watney (big blocky pittie and German Shepherd respectively), who help protect Simone during the actual worst moment of her entire life. (link in pinned, it's free loads of places. TW for gore, but the dogs live.

Hmm...I guess my Cat Person nature is just too strong. Dogs don't appear in my writing.

And none of my reading brings up any memorable pups, either. 🤷‍♀️
