| 8 | |
| 9 | The main character of the original series. A male Sheltie/retriever with gold-and-white fur. |
| 10 | ---- |
| 11 | * TheAloner: Lucky was originally proud to be on his own. This eventually changes as he grows to love being a part of the pack. |
| 12 | * AbusiveParents: Lucky's previous [[TheAlcoholic alcoholic]] longpaw had been abusive towards him. |
| 13 | * AlcoholicDad: In his former family, the father was an alcoholic and an AbusiveDad. |
| 14 | * BecomingTheMask: He's sent to spy and betray the Wild Pack by Bella, but he finds himself growing close to the pack. This ends up resolved when the two packs become one. |
| 15 | * CatsAreMean: He's a firm believer in this, so it surprises (and slightly amuses) him when a cat thanks him for rescuing it. |
| 16 | * DarkAndTroubledPast: He had an abusive owner as a puppy. |
| 17 | * DemotedToExtra: Lucky doesn't get as much screen-time in the second arc as he did in the original arc. |
| 18 | * DogStereotype: He's a golden, floppy-eared Retriever mix, which gives him enough traits to fit the "heroic dog protagonist" archetype. He's also a streetwise mixed-breed. |
| 19 | * TheExile: Lucky gets kicked out of the pack in "''Darkness Falls''", for supposedly bringing misfortune on the pack. Lucky eventually makes it back to the pack and works his hardest to be a pack dog. |
| 20 | * FirstNameBasis: Even when Sweet is his beta, she doesn't mind Lucky using her real name in private. |
| 21 | * FriendlessBackground: Prior to meeting Sweet, Lucky has had few allies and even fewer friends. |
| 22 | * IWorkAlone: He resists early attempts to join a pack because he's been alone his entire life. |
| 23 | * MeaningfulName: It's mentioned several times that he has a lot of luck. He ends up in trouble a lot, which leads Alpha to call his name a [[IronicName joke]], but Lucky always ends up fine in the end. |
| 24 | * MeaningfulRename: He was named "Yap" as a pup. |
| 25 | * MisunderstoodLonerWithAHeartOfGold: Because dogs are a very social species, Lucky is seen as weird for preferring to be alone. However, Lucky is lying to himself because he ''does'' secretly prefer being around others. He's afraid of trusting others and being relied on. |
| 26 | * NaiveNewcomer: He becomes this in "''A Hidden Enemy''". Lucky has always been a Lone Dog and doesn't know about pack life. So, when he's forced to act as a spy for a rival pack, Lucky doesn't even know what a "beta" (second-in-command to the alpha) is. |
| 27 | * NumberTwo: [[spoiler:Becomes the beta to Sweet's alpha during "''The Endless Lake''"]]. |
| 28 | * OfficialCouple: With Sweet as of the second series. |
| 29 | * PapaWolf: He's the closest thing the Fierce Dog pups have to a sire-dog and he's very protective of them. |
| 30 | * ParentalAbandonment: Both his parents died prior to the series. |
| 31 | * APetIntoTheWild: He had an abusive owner as a puppy. When the door was left ajar, he escaped and never came back. |
| 32 | * ReasonableAuthorityFigure: He tries to ease the tensions between the Wild Pack and Arrow, and he agrees with Bella that Arrow isn't a bad dog. |
| 33 | * TheReasonYouSuckSpeech: He gives one to [[spoiler:Alpha]] in "''The Endless Lake''" for betraying the Wild Pack. |
| 34 | * RepressedMemories: Maybe he was too young, maybe he repressed the memories, but Lucky has forgotten most of his time as "Yap" and his time as a Leashed Dog. Meeting Bella again helps jog his memory. |
| 35 | * SiblingYinYang: He's much more laidback and gentle than his highstrung and assertive sister Bella. |
| 36 | * StreetSmart: He's lived in the city since puphood and is a very street-savvy. |
| 37 | |
| 38 | !!Sweet |
| 39 | ->"I'll be okay. I won't fight- with the Wind-Dogs at my back, I can outrun any dog!" |
| 40 | |
| 41 | A small swift-dog (Greyhound) female with gray fur. |
| 42 | ---- |
| 43 | * ADayInTheLimelight: Has a novella called "''Sweet's Journey''" which tells us how she became beta of her pack. |
| 44 | * DogStereotype: Subverted. Despite being a former racing Greyhound, she doesn't display any common stereotypes attributed to the breed. |
| 45 | * BewareTheNiceOnes: In the first book, Sweet is a gentle dog but this changes come the sequel. Lucky sees a different side of Sweet when she's beta under Alpha. Sweet can be as sweet as her name implies but she can be very harsh and ruthless when need be, to the point where her name becomes an IronicName. |
| 46 | * {{Claustrophobia}}: Sweet wasn't raised as a pet so she's not used to buildings. Being a swift-dog also means she can't run around corners well. This leaves Sweet uncomfortable with longpaw settlements. |
| 47 | * IronicName: Sweet is not a gentle dog. She's not cruel, but she's stern and serious. |
| 48 | * TheLeader: She becomes the new leader of the pack after [[spoiler:Alpha 'dies'.]] |
| 49 | * MistakenForRomance: Lucky grows jealous of her bond with Alpha in the second book, but their relationship is strictly professional. Sweet does admit she ''could'' become Alpha's mate but that never occurs. |
| 50 | * NumberTwo: To Alpha. [[spoiler:She becomes the alpha dog after he joins the Fierce Dogs]]. |
| 51 | * OfficialCouple: With Lucky as of the second series. |
| 52 | * ReasonableAuthorityFigure: Sweet becomes this after the former alpha "dies". Lucky is relieved that she's a much better leader than the former alpha. |
| 53 | * ScreamingBirth: She yowls a lot while giving birth to her pups in "''Dead of Night''". |
| 54 | * SoleSurvivor: Her original pack was a group of Greyhounds released into the wild after becoming unsuitable for racing. She was the only one who survived the Big Growl thanks to being put in the Trap House. |
| 55 | * SuperSpeed: Being a Greyhound, Sweet is very speedy. Unfortunately, she can only run in short bursts and only in a straight line. She also has mediocre endurance. |
| 56 | |
| 57 | !!Daisy |
| 58 | An energetic female Westie/Jack Russell Terrier mix. |
| 59 | ---- |
| 60 | * DogStereotype: She's as energetic and jumpy as expected from a terrier. |
| 61 | * MisterMuffykins: She's small, energetic, and very yappy. It comes with being a terrier. |
| 62 | * TragicKeepsake: She keeps a leather purse that belonged to her owners until late in the first book, |
| 63 | |
| 64 | !!Mickey |
| 65 | ->"If a Leashed Dog like me can adapt, then pups certainly can. Dogs aren't born bad." |
| 66 | |
| 67 | A black-and-white male "Farm-Work Dog" (Border Collie). |
| 68 | ---- |
| 69 | * DogStereotype: He's a loyal Border Collie. |

| 71 | * OfficialCouple: With Snap as of "''Storm of Dogs''". |
| 72 | * APetIntoTheWild: His owners exacuated because of the earthquake. |
| 73 | * TheSmartGuy |
| 74 | * TragicKeepsake: "His boy's" baseball glove. When the others bury their keepsakes, Mickey keeps his in hope that he'll be reunited with his longpaws soon. |
| 75 | |
| 76 | !!Bruno |
| 77 | ->"The truth is that my fears got the better of me. I never used to be scared of anything. I was the toughest dog on the street! Now I can't sleep at night for fear that a fight will break out in the Pack. Even the light of the Sun-Dog doesn't make me feel safe. You never know what's out there, what's watching from behind the branches. Now I'm scared of everything." |
| 78 | |
| 79 | A large male "Fight Dog" (German Shepherd/Chow Chow) with brown fur. |
| 80 | ---- |
| 81 | * TheBigGuy |
| 82 | * BlackAndWhiteMorality: He's a firm believer in this, especially when his pack had been threatened by the Fierce Dogs. He prefers to see things in plain terms and wants to live a simple life. |
| 83 | * CoolOldGuy: It's hinted that he's getting on in dog years. |
| 84 | * TheDeterminator: WordOfGod says that once Bruno commits himself to something, it's in his nature to do it with every fibre of his being. |
| 85 | * JerkWithAHeartOfGold: He might be just a little bit gruff, but he is also extremely loyal to his pack and would do anything to help them. |
| 86 | * JustFollowingOrders: He tells Lucky that the reason he turned to Alpha instead of Lucky was that he felt he couldn't disobey an order. |
| 87 | * KilledOffForReal: [[spoiler:Dies in "''Red Moon Rising''"; [[BloodyHorror his jaw was completely torn off in a similar manner to how Terror's was.]]]] |
| 88 | * APetIntoTheWild: His owners evacuated for the earthquake. |
| 89 | * TookALevelInJerkass: In "''The Gathering Darkness''" arc, where he joins in ostracizing Arrow for being a Fierce Dog, and he even turns even more against Storm. Thankfully, he does apologize to Storm for judging her by her breed. |
| 90 | * TragicKeepsake: He keeps hold of his owner's cap until near the end of the first book. |
| 91 | * YouHaveOutlivedYourUsefulness: [[spoiler:After he apologizes to Storm for judging her by her breed, his killer realizes she won't be able to use him to sow discord anymore, so he's killed...[[SubvertedTrope in a way reminiscent of how Terror was killed.]]]] |
| 92 | |
| 93 | !!Sunshine |
| 94 | ->"Don't look at me like that, Lucky! I don't need your pity. I actually liked being Omega. Bella, Martha, and Daisy were still nice to me, and so was Snap. Anyway, I'm good at all those jobs—you know, the ones most dogs feel they're too noble for." |
| 95 | |
| 96 | A Maltese female. |
| 97 | ---- |
| 98 | * ButtMonkey: Being one of the smallest dogs, she is stuck as Omega for much of the series. This involved her being treated like dirt by much of the pack and having to eat last, which also caused her to become skinny. |
| 99 | * DogStereotype: She fits the "jumpy small dog" stereotype. She's also a bit of a spoiled lap-dog who was greatly attached to her longpaws. It's mentioned that Sunshine will likely never completely get over them. |
| 100 | * DontYouDarePityMe: She gets mad at Lucky for pitying her as the Omega. Sunshine ''likes'' being Omega. She doesn't mind doing "dirty" jobs like changing bedding and the other dogs don't treat her that bad. As a Leashed Dog, Sunshine used to do things for her longpaws all the time. She likes taking care of others and sees being an Omega as her contribution to the pack. |
| 101 | * FormerlyFat: Most of the Leashed Dogs were well-fed but Sunshine has the most striking change. She starts out as a plump pet but being forced to eat little more than scraps leads her to become thin in no time. |
| 102 | * MeaningfulName: She's very chipper and takes things in stride despite losing her longpaws and being an Omega. |
| 103 | * MessyHair: Being a long-furred breed without humans to maintain her fur is unfortunate. Her fur often ends up knotted and messy as a result, especially due to her Omega status. |
| 104 | * MisterMuffykins: A benevolent example. As Maltese are prone to be, she yaps a lot. She's also prone to complaining and she scares easily. |
| 105 | * ThePollyanna: Not much gets Sunshine down. |
| 106 | * APetIntoTheWild: Her owners evacuated during the earthquake. Sunshine is one of the most unfortunate examples because she's not fit for life in the wild. |
| 107 | * TragicKeepsake: She keeps hold of her yellow studded leash until the end of the first book. |
| 108 | |
| 109 | !!Martha |
| 110 | ->"I won't allow it! I'll leave with them. You won't have to worry about the pups after that! But if you try to hurt them you will have to go through me!" |
| 111 | |
| 112 | A black female Newfoundland with large webbed paws. |
| 113 | ---- |
| 114 | * AlmostDeadGuy: She talks to Storm a little bit before she dies. |
| 115 | * TheBigGuy |
| 116 | * GentleGiant: She's the largest of the Leashed Dogs and the friendliest. |
| 117 | * MakingASplash: She has a strong connection with the River Dog. |
| 118 | * MamaBear: Sweet GentleGiant Martha acts aggressive towards Alpha for acting hostile towards the Fierce Dog pups. |
| 119 | * APetIntoTheWild: She was left alone after her owners left because of the earthquake. |
| 120 | * SoProudOfYou: Tells Storm that she, and everyone else, are proud of her during the battle in "''Storm of Dogs''". |
| 121 | * TragicKeepsake: Her owner's red scarf. Martha's the first to agree on burying their keepsakes. |
| 122 | |
| 123 | !!Squeak/Bella |
| 124 | ->"I'm not making excuses! I made a perfectly sensible decision, and you went against it. If you had been killed inside that longpaw house, it would have been your own fault." |
| 125 | |
| 126 | A gold-and-white furred female Sheltie/retriever mix. She's Lucky's sister. |
| 127 | ---- |
| 128 | * DisneyVillainDeath: Inverted in "''The Final Battle''", courtesy of [[spoiler: Breeze]] shoving her off a building. |
| 129 | * ForgivenButNotForgotten: Lucky had been betrayed by Bella, who's his sister, because she used to spy on Alpha's pack, without telling him exactly what she was planning, and did not speak up for him when he was banished from the pack. When he comes back, he ignores her trying to talk to him before finally forgiving her... but he never forgets what she did. |
| 130 | * LeaderWannabe: Bella tries to assert herself as the alpha dog throughout the first book of the first series. In the fifth book, she challenges Sweet for position to be the alpha dog of the pack. [[spoiler:After leaving the Pack with her mate Arrow in "''The Gathering Darkness''" arc, she decides to start her own pack, beginning with herself, her mate, their remaining pups, and Storm, but after her death the others return to the Wild Pack.]] |
| 131 | * LongLostRelative: Lucky hadn't seen his litter-sister Bella since they were known as "Yap" and "Squeak". Their other three siblings' (Snip, Yip and Yowl) whereabouts are unknown. |
| 132 | * MeaningfulName: |
| 133 | ** She's referred to as a beautiful-looking dog. |
| 134 | ** When she was younger, she was a whiny, bossy pup fitting of the name "Squeak". |
| 135 | * MeaningfulRename: She was named "Squeak" as a pup. |
| 136 | * MoodSwinger: She has mood swings from time to time and is very temperamental. |
| 137 | * OfficialCouple: [[spoiler:She's mates with Arrow, one of the Fierce Dogs which is something of a controversy to her pack due to their past with Fierce Dogs.]] |
| 138 | * OutlivingOnesOffspring: [[spoiler:Her and Arrow's only daughter, Tufty, is stillborn.]] |
| 139 | * APetIntoTheWild: Her owners evacuated for the earthquake, leaving their dog on her own. |
| 140 | * ParentalAbandonment: |
| 141 | ** Both her parents died prior to the series. |
| 142 | ** She saw her longpaws evacuate before the earthquake and thinks they abandoned her. She's mostly come to terms with the abandonment by the time she meets Lucky, but she still has difficulty giving up on her previous family. |
| 143 | * SiblingYinYang: Lucky is laidback and prefers being on his own while Bella has always been high-strung and bossy. |
| 144 | * ScreamingBirth: [[spoiler:Delivers her pups during one, though one doesn't survive.]] |
| 145 | * ScrewThisImOuttaHere: [[spoiler:She decides to leave the wild pack to be with Arrow after everyone treats him horribly]]. |
| 146 | * StrongFamilyResemblance: Even before he recognizes Bella, Lucky feels that looking at her is like looking in a mirror. |
| 147 | * TragicKeepsake: A teddy bear. She gives it up late into the first book. |
| 148 | |
| 149 | !!Alfie |
| 150 | ->"I walked a long way. All on my own. I like to be alone sometimes. I investigated this little valley, there--and those hills. I even went beyond them!" |
| 151 | |
| 152 | A gray-and-white male Bulldog. |
| 153 | ---- |
| 154 | * BullyBulldog: Subverted. He's initially described as aloof but Alfie is a friendly and energetic dog. |
| 155 | * DogStereotype: Zigzagged. He's nice like modern Bulldogs stereotypes, but he's far more energetic than most fictional Bulldogs. |
| 156 | * KilledOffForReal: [[spoiler:Alpha]] kills him in "''A Hidden Enemy''". |
| 157 | * KillTheCutie: The well-liked and fun Alfie is the first major character to die in the series, setting the tone for the rest of the book and showing how dangerous the wild really is. |
| 158 | * LeeroyJenkins: He's often rushing head-on into potentially dangerous situations. [[spoiler:His impulsive nature gets him killed when he decides to snap at Alpha]]. |
| 159 | * SacrificialLamb: He gets killed in the first few pages of the second book in order to emphasize what a threat [[spoiler:Alpha]] is. |
| 160 | * SpiritAdvisor: He becomes this in "''Storm Of Dogs''", giving Lucky a prophecy that can change the pack's fate. |
| 161 | * TragicKeepsake: He keeps a ball until late into the first book. |
| 162 | * VagueAge: He's barely older than a puppy. Whether he's the equivalent of a teenager or a young adult is difficult to tell. |
| 163 | |
| 164 | !!Spring |
| 165 | ->"Growing up is so complicated for pups, even ones of the same litter. It's all about learning to cooperate like real Pack dogs." |
| 166 | |
| 167 | A tan female "hunt dog" (spaniel/Beagle mix) with black patches. She's Twitch's sister. |
| 168 | ---- |
| 169 | * NeverFoundTheBody: She ends up drowning in "''The Endless Lake''", but her body's been swept away by the current, thus the dogs can't give her a burial. |
| 170 | * StrongFamilyResemblance: She looks a lot like her litter-brother Twitch. |
| 171 | * WouldHurtAChild: Spring agrees with Alpha on killing the Fierce Dog pups in fear that they'll come back for revenge. |
| 172 | |
| 173 | !!Pup/[[spoiler:Dog]]/[[spoiler:Wolf]]/Alpha/[[spoiler:Omega]] |

| 185 | * DogStereotype: He fits the negative stereotypes of both his German Shepherd and his wolf sides. |
| 186 | * DudeWheresMyRespect: In his wolf pack, fought his way to a position to lead his own hunting team. They deliberately ignore his orders, and when he calls them out for it, refuse to fight him for honor, claiming since he's not a wolf he's not allowed to challenge them, and force him to drag the prey back himself, much to his displeasure. |
| 187 | * EmbarrassingFirstName: Alpha was born "Pup". His adult name, [[spoiler:Dog]], was given by his half-brother, Quick. He hated it due to [[spoiler:disliking the dog part of his heritage.]] |
| 188 | * FaceHeelTurn: He abandons the Wild Pack to join the [[spoiler:Fierce Dogs]] because he deems them stronger than his old pack. |
| 189 | * FantasticRacism: He looks down upon Leashed Dogs and refuses to eat longpaw food due to deeming it unsuitable. |
| 190 | * FreudianExcuse: Alpha's need to always be in control stems from growing up as a half-dog in a wolf pack, and vowing to never be a victim again. [[spoiler:He also dislikes Fierce Dogs due to them having scarred him in his youth.]] |
| 191 | * TheFriendNobodyLikes: In his wolf pack, he's looked down on for being half-dog. Aside from his mother, none of the pack like him, they just tolerate him because of his hunting skills, and eventually abandon him after he gets captured saving one of them from Fierce Dogs. [[spoiler:Among the Fierce Dogs he joins, one likes him, while the others simply tolerate him because their longpaw master thinks he can be useful.]] |
| 192 | * HalfBreedDiscrimination: He is a half-German Shepherd, half-wolf mix. As a result he has never quite fit in with either dogs or wolves. |

| 197 | * TheLeader: Was the Alpha of the Wild Pack. [[spoiler:Later he becomes the Fierce Dogs' Omega]]. |
| 198 | * MeaningfulName: |
| 199 | ** He's the alpha dog of the Wild Pack. |

| 201 | * MeaningfulRename: "Pup" -> [[spoiler:Dog]] -> [[spoiler:Wolf]] -> Alpha -> [[spoiler:Omega]]. |
| 202 | * MotiveDecay: He formed the Wild Pack so he would have friends and never be a victim again. By the time the series begins, he's let the power that comes with being the leader go to his head, making him the character we see. |
| 203 | * NeckSnap: [[spoiler:Lucky delivers one to him, killing off the former alpha.]] |
| 204 | * [[NobleWolf Noble Wolf-dog]]/[[TheBigBadWolf The Big Bad Wolf-dog]]: Alpha often zigzags between these two until landing in the latter in ''The Endless Lake''. |

| 206 | * ParentalAbandonment: His mother was killed by Fierce Dogs and his father died sometime during his puphood. |
| 207 | * PartingWordsRegret: In "''Alpha's Tale''", he gets into an argument with his mother for mating with a dog and insults her and his late father. That's the last thing he tells her before she's killed off, and he feels very ashamed for not making it up with her. |
| 208 | * PointyHairedBoss: Is not a very good leader, spending his time in his den while the others do the work, which includes forcing Lucky or the Fierce Dog pups to do things as "tests of loyalty". He also often invokes SureLetsGoWithThat or GladIThoughtOfIt when Sweet or Fiery suggests a proper course of action. |
| 209 | * TheReasonYouSuckSpeech: He gives one to Lucky in "''Darkness Falls''" for agreeing to take in Fierce Dog pups and questions his loyalty.[[spoiler:.. which becomes ironic and hypocritical when he joins the Fierce Dogs two books later.]] |
| 210 | * SiblingYinYang: He's serious and determined, while his half-brother Quick is lighthearted and doesn't take things too seriously. [[spoiler:This causes him to see Quick as a BrokenPedestal after he gives him the name "Dog" and refuses to acknowledge or understand why it's a big deal.]] |
| 211 | * SoleSurvivor: Out of his litter. |

| 215 | |
| 216 | !!Snail/Fiery |
| 217 | ->"I knew that for such a big dog, I was fast. I knew it from when I first learned to run I could run almost as fast as Lightning, or so I thought when I was young and arrogant. I watched Lightning in the sky, and thought about how he looked like a streak of flame—and I just knew. I knew instantly that Fiery was my true name." |
| 218 | |
| 219 | A huge brown male mastiff. |
| 220 | ---- |
| 221 | * TheBigGuy: Being a mastiff, he is very large; the largest dog in Alpha's pack in fact. As a result, he's one of the most difficult dogs to fight. |
| 222 | * DarkAndTroubledPast: He was the only survivor of a sickness that wiped out his pack. |
| 223 | * HappilyMarried: With Moon. |
| 224 | * KilledOffForReal: [[spoiler:He became poisoned by radiation at one point and it weakened him to the point that he could no longer fight effectively; thus, when he and his rescuers are intercepted by Terror's pack and a fight breaks out, Terror is able to kill Fiery quite easily.]] |
| 225 | * MeaningfulName: |
| 226 | ** His mother named him "Snail" because he was obsessed with snails as a pup. |
| 227 | ** Fiery's name comes from his speed. He's unusually fleet-footed for his size and so he named himself after seeing a lightning bolt in the sky, which he thought resembled fire. |
| 228 | * MeaningfulRename: As a pup he was named "Snail". |
| 229 | * OfficialCouple: With Moon. |
| 230 | * OutlivingOnesOffspring: Outlives his son, Fuzz, who is killed by foxes in "''A Hidden Enemy''". |

| 232 | * ParentalAbandonment: Both of his parents died from sickness when he was still a pup. |
| 233 | * ReasonableAuthorityFigure: Although Fiery respects Alpha, he's a lot calmer and more friendly than he. When he challenges Alpha for the position of leadership, Lucky even lampshades how different the pack would be under Fiery's rule. |
| 234 | * TheReasonYouSuckSpeech: He gives one to Alpha while challenging him for leadership, calling him out on making bad decisions for the pack and treating the pets like crap while not recognizing their potential. |
| 235 | * TrademarkFavoriteFood: When he was a pup he loved to eat snails, claiming them to be tasty. He's still fond of them. |
| 236 | |
| 237 | !!Twitch |
| 238 | ->"They should have stayed at home doing tricks for their longpaws. You may be a City Dog, Lucky, but at least you know about true dog-life, life in the wild, living by your wits and surviving. Those dogs do not deserve to survive." |
| 239 | |

| 245 | * TheLeader: [[spoiler:Becomes the new alpha of Terror's pack after Terror is killed by Storm]]. |

| 248 | * TookALevelInBadass: He starts out near the bottom of pack society because of his lame paw, but he's soon gotten rid of the lame leg and becomes the new alpha of his own pack. |

| 264 | * GrudgingThankYou: Even after he had not been kind to Lucky, Mulch is surprised that Lucky saved some food for him. He's able to thank him, though a little moodily. |
| 265 | * HeroicSacrifice: He dies [[spoiler:trying to save Moon and Fiery's pups from foxes]] in "''A Hidden Enemy''". |
| 266 | * SeriesContinuityError: He, along with Moon, Snap and Whine, joins the Wild Pack after a disease destroys most of theirs and causes others to abandon them in "''Moon's Choice''". However, he is strangely absent in "''Sweet's Journey''". |
| 267 | * TookALevelInJerkass: In "''Moon's Choice''", Mulch had been a competent dog and loyally sticks up for Moon. Come "''A Hidden Enemy''", and he's been reduced to sulking and taking it out on Lucky. |
| 268 | |
| 269 | !!Snap |

| 282 | ---- |
| 283 | * ADayInTheLimelight: Has a novella called "''Moon's Choice''". |
| 284 | * ArrangedMarriage: Her parents had chosen a dog named Hunter to be Moon's mate. But after Moon's pack caught a sickness that started [[spoiler:killing them one by one Hunter decided to leave, only to come back after the sickness had gone. Needless to say, Moon chased Hunter away because he wasn't the kind of dog they needed and she chose Fiery to be her mate since he had helped save her and her remaining pack members.]] |
| 285 | * DarkAndTroubledPast: Moon was once a part of a pack where her father was Alpha and her mother was Beta. But one day [[spoiler:the pack caught a sickness that started killing them one by one. If it hadn't been for Fiery, every single member would have died.]] |
| 286 | * HappilyMarried: Moon was very happy with Fiery and even stated that she would never get a new mate. |

| 290 | * OutlivingOnesOffspring: Outlives her son, Fuzz, who is killed by foxes in "''A Hidden Enemy''". |
| 291 | * SiblingYinYang: Moon was always the more responsible one, while her sister Star always liked to play. Moon even stated that Star was happy to be a free spirit. |
| 292 | * TheReasonYouSuckSpeech: Gives one to Hunter, her former pack member, after he returns to the pack after abandoning it when they needed him and attempts to claim leadership. |
| 293 | * WouldntHurtAChild: Moon fears and dislikes the Fierce Dog pups, but she'd rather abandon them on their own than outright kill them. |
| 294 | * YouAreInCommandNow: [[spoiler:Her father names her the leader of their pack while he's suffering from the sickness. After he dies, she becomes this officially.]] |
| 295 | |

| 298 | |
| 299 | A black male Pug. |
| 300 | ---- |
| 301 | * ButtMonkey: As Omega, Whine is often treated as if he isn't a dog and is just kept around to do things others won't. This works to his advantage as other dogs don't pay much attention to him, giving him the ability to sneak around without issue, |
| 302 | * BitchInSheepsClothing[=/=]EvilGenius: He may look meek and useless, but he arranges for an innocent yet whiny dog named Mulch to be framed for eating before the pack so that he could move up a rank. |
| 303 | * {{Blackmail}}: He blackmails Lucky into moving him up a rank in exchange for not ratting him out. He still tells the pack anyway. |
| 304 | * TheBusCameBack: After disappearing at the end of the original arc, he reappears in "''The Exile's Journey''" [[spoiler:having become the pet of some longpaws living in a log cabin. He gives Storm a place to stay the night, then later helps her escape.]] |
| 305 | * DirtyCoward: He's not the most courageous dog, which gets noted by others. |
| 306 | * DogStereotype: Completely inverted. He's the opposite of the friendly, lovable image associated with Pugs. |
| 307 | * DontYouDarePityMe: He has this reaction when Lucky tries to spare him extra meat during mealtime. |
| 308 | * TheExile: He willingly leaves the Wild Pack for the Fierce Dogs, but after the final battle, even the remaining Fierce Dogs want nothing to do with him. Even the sweet and chipper Sunshine gets the honor of chasing Whine away from the Wild Pack forever. |
| 309 | * FromStrayToPet: [[spoiler:In "''The Exile's Journey''" he is revealed to be the pet of some longpaws living in a log cabin with two other dogs.]] |
| 310 | * {{Gonk}}: Pugs look grotesque to dogs. He's routinely referred to as "ugly". Even the pack list calls him "oddly-shaped". |
| 311 | * ItsAllAboutMe: Really has no loyalty to anyone but himself, and hates being the Omega. Finds out Lucky is a spy, but instead of turning him in, blackmails him to get a promotion, and then eats all the remaining food when his turn to eat comes. After the new Omega's death, he rats Lucky out in the hope Lucky will be made Omega so it won't be him. He also disagrees with Lucky being kicked out of the Pack, because Lucky is Omega at the time, with Lucky even noting he doesn't want to be relegated to his former role. Also abandons the Pack when they refuse to give up Storm to the Fierce Dogs. Overlaps with AnythingButThat in regards to being the Omega. |
| 312 | * {{Jerkass}}: He's generally unpleasant when you get to know him. Even after Sunshine becomes the Omega so it doesn't have to be him, he's still a jerk to Lucky and Lick/Storm. He also eats all the remaining food on his turn after his promotion, so the new Omega, Mulch, doesn't have anything to eat. |
| 313 | * KickTheDog: After Mulch is demoted to Omega and Whine doesn't have to be it anymore, Whine proceeds to eat all the remaining food when his turn to eat comes before the new Omega's, leaving Mulch to starve that night. Especially egregious given that Whine himself arranged for Mulch to be demoted. |
| 314 | * LeaderWannabe: A variation. He's not trying to be the leader; he just doesn't want to be the Omega anymore. |
| 315 | * TheLoad: He's not seen as particularly good at anything. He can't hunt, he's a useless fighter, he's bad at guarding the territory, and he's a terrible patroller. This is why he was stuck as an Omega for so long. [[spoiler:In "''The Exile's Journey''", he's left alone in the cabin with Storm, because he's too slow to keep up with the other dogs when they are taken for their morning walk.]] |
| 316 | * ManipulativeBastard: He tricks Lucky into helping him get out of the Omega position by blaming another dog named Mulch for a crime he didn't commit. [[spoiler:Also manipulates a pair of longpaws and their dogs into taking him in and trusting him, and later the dogs into helping Storm escape so she won't screw things up for him.]] |
| 317 | * MeaningfulName: When he properly introduces himself to Lucky, the first thing he does is complain about how he doesn't want to be the Omega and nothing he does is ever enough. He pressures Lucky to get someone else demoted as soon as possible, and afterward, sometimes complains about Storm. His name is Whine for a reason. [[spoiler:In "''The Exile's Journey''", he has been named Buddy by his new owners, which given his personality, is an IronicName.]] |
| 318 | * NoSympathy: For Mulch, despite him having blackmailed Lucky into making him the new Omega, he proceeds to KickTheDog, by eating all the remaining food after Mulch's demotion so Mulch has nothing. Lucky is disgusted by this, believing if anyone ''should'' have sympathy for the new Omega, it would be the old one. |
| 319 | * TheOathbreaker: He promises not to rat out Lucky as a spy for the Leashed Dogs if he helps him get out of being Omega. But once he does, he ends up telling Alpha that Lucky is a spy. |
| 320 | * PetTheDog: Subverted. He defends Lucky when Alpha wants to kick him out for having been a spy, but Lucky realizes this is only because he doesn't want the Omega to leave, as he thinks it'll be him again if that happens. [[spoiler:He also helps Storm escape his longpaws immediately in "''The Exile's Journey''", but only because he doesn't want her to screw up the good life he has managed to get for himself.]] |
| 321 | * PragmaticVillainy: Tells Lucky, when blackmailing him, that he's not asking him to do something that would make himself Omega, as in his opinion, that's worse than whatever Alpha would do to him for spying. [[spoiler:Also helps Storm escape instead of turning the other dogs against her, as that is the easiest way to get rid of her quickly.]] |
| 322 | * SeriesContinuityError: He, along with Moon, Snap and Mulch, joins the Wild Pack after a disease destroys most of theirs and causes others to abandon them in "''Moon's Choice''". However, he is strangely absent in "''Sweet's Journey''". |
| 323 | * ScrewThisImOuttaHere: After his failed proposition to give up Storm to the Fierce Dogs, he leaves, sneering that he's been the only smart dog to leave. |
| 324 | * WouldHurtAChild: Whine doesn't have an issue with killing the Fierce Dog pups. |
| 325 | |

| 350 | * DeathOfAChild: Foxes kill him in the second book, but he's not taken by them. |
| 351 | * SeriesContinuityError: He's called "Nose" in "''Dead of Night''". "Nose" was Thorn's pup name, not his. |
| 352 | |
| 353 | !!Lick/Storm |
| 354 | ->"You're my Pack. You've always been my Pack. I am not one of them. I am no Fierce Dog. This is the only place for me, and I'll do whatever it takes to fit in." |
| 355 | |
| 356 | A black-and-tan female "Fierce Dog" (Doberman Pinscher) originally with the Fierce Dogs. She's the main character of the second series. |

| 359 | * AllThereInTheManual: She was rescued by Lucky and Mickey at 8-10 weeks old. |
| 360 | * BeCarefulWhatYouWishFor: Whisper is grateful to Storm for saving him and his pack from Terror, but he ends up being too attached to her. Irritated, she snaps at him to go away and leave her alone. When Whisper [[spoiler:ends up killed]] near the end of "''A Pack Divided''", she tells herself regretfully that she got her wish, all right. |
| 361 | * CreepyChild: Even as a puppy she had an abnormal interest in fighting. Still, she's the TokenHeroicOrc out of the Dobermans. |
| 362 | * EarAche: She gets one of her ears torn by another Fierce Dog. |
| 363 | * TheExile: She leaves the Wild Pack at the end of "''Red Moon Rising''", fearing that she had gotten one of Lucky and Sweet's pups hurt. |
| 364 | * HappilyAdopted: She was quite happy with Martha and always saw her as a kind of mother figure. |
| 365 | * HotBlooded: Even if she's the aversion of the Doberman stereotype (being a good dog), she's still hotheaded at times, especially around Alpha. |
| 366 | * MeaningfulName: Her pup name, Lick, was given to her because she constantly licked Lucky, Mickey, and her brothers. Her adult name, Storm, reminds Lucky of the Storm of Dogs, which he has been having dreams about. Subverted when Alpha attempts to rename her Savage, which is only for his own bigotry, and not her nature. |
| 367 | * MeaningfulRename: She was originally known as "Lick" before receiving her adult name. Alpha also attempts to rename her "Savage" on a technicality to show what he believes is her true nature, but none of the other dogs go along with it. |
| 368 | * NatureVsNurture: She was born a Fierce Dog, and clearly still has their instincts, [[spoiler:evidenced by her ripping off Terror's jaw and later killing him]], but is fighting to become a Wild Dog. |

| 381 | * DoesNotKnowHisOwnStrength: He accidentally bites Lucky too hard during a play-fight. |

| 391 | ---- |
| 392 | * AllThereInTheManual: He was rescued by Lucky and Mickey at 8-10 weeks old. |
| 393 | * ArrogantKungFuGuy: Even as a young pup, Fang knew he was destined to be strong. As a result he's always been very headstrong and reckless. |
| 394 | * BullyingADragon: As a puppy he threatened a full-grown ''bear'', even after it almost killed him, because he didn't believe in backing down from a fight. |
| 395 | * DoesNotKnowHisOwnStrength: Grunt gets into trouble when he hurts Nose during a play-fight. Moon and Fiery accuse Grunt of trying to attack their daughter, but Martha and Lucky insist it was an accident. |
| 396 | * EarAche: His ears are crudely mutilated into points by the Fierce Dogs. |
| 397 | * EnfanteTerrible: Fang seems to relish in the stereotype of Dobermans attacking (and maybe even killing) other dogs. |
| 398 | * IFightForTheStrongestSide: This is why he joins Blade's pack. |
| 399 | * MeaningfulName: Lucky and Mickey name him Grunt because of the way he talks. Later, his adult name, Fang, sounds tougher, like a true Fierce Dog. |
| 400 | * MeaningfulRename: From Grunt to Fang. |
| 401 | * MouthyKid: As a pup, he's very loose-lipped and self-confident. |
| 402 | * {{Pride}}: His main faults are being cocky and prideful to a fault. |

Later helps the Wild Pack find Lucky and Sweet's pups after Breeze kidnaps them by appearing to the pups and comforting them, and reveals herself, along with Whisper, to Storm in the final battle. |

| 615 | * BreakHisHeartToSaveHim: After she and Alpha (at that time called Wolf) are punished for failing to prevent a coyote from killing one of the rancher's hens, he wants to leave the ranch, but she cannot. He offers to stay with her, but she knows if he stays he will eventually come to hate her for it, so she tells him to leave, and gives him a head start before raising the alarm. |
| 616 | * TheLostLenore: To Alpha. Her choosing her Pack over him, as well as the Pack scarring him, is the reason why he hates Fierce Dogs. |
| 617 | * LovedINotHonorMore: Refuses to leave with her mate, as the rancher and her Pack are her family. |
| 618 | * NamesToRunAwayFromReallyFast: She's named after a disaster, and is dangerous. |

| 639 | * HalfBreedDiscrimination: Why he dislikes their newest recruit. |
| 640 | * NumberTwo: To Sundance. Though it's difficult to prove, given how small the Pack is and he's never seen away from Sundance or giving orders to any of the others. However, their captive recognizes him as the beta. |
| 641 | * SmallNameBigEgo: He's the beta, but screws up trying to herd a sheep, which Calamity and Wolf later laugh about. |
| 642 | |

| 659 | * AxCrazy: He's literally a mad dog. |
| 660 | * BloodyHorror: Storm rips off his lower jaw before killing him. |
| 661 | * EldritchAbomination: Lucky sees Terror as this, having strange wide yellow eyes, sores all over his body, and having seizures that make him believe in the "Fear-Dog". |
| 662 | * KickTheDog: He beats up his pack members for only the slightest of faults. |
| 663 | * LargeAndInCharge: He's the largest dog in his pack, and one of the biggest dogs in the entire series. |

| 671 | * HeroWorshipper: To him, Storm is a great hero who saved his pack from [[spoiler:Terror.]] Whisper is always in awe of Storm and loves to be around her. But this does get on Storm's nerves, and Storm bluntly tells him to back off. |
| 672 | * IOweYouMyLife: A variation: He and the other members of the pack agree [[spoiler:to help the Wild Pack fight the Fierce Dogs to protect Storm]] because the aforementioned dog saved his pack from [[spoiler:Terror]]. |
| 673 | * KilledOffForReal: [[spoiler:He's killed at the end of "''A Pack Divided''". Storm spends the rest of the series trying to figure out who killed him.]] |
| 674 | * SpiritAdvisor: [[spoiler:After his death, he often appears in Storm's dreams just as something bad is about to happen. He also returns with Tufty in the final battle.]] |

| 681 | * AxCrazy: Beneath her sweet, calm exterior, Breeze is almost as deranged as Terror. |
| 682 | * AvengingTheVillain: She's been the one murdering other dogs to get revenge for Storm killing Terror. |
| 683 | * BigBad: Of "''The Gathering Darkness''" arc. |
| 684 | * TheChessMaster: Breeze is a deviously cunning and skillfully manipulative strategist who is easily able to exploit a situation to her advantage and stay several steps ahead of others. |
| 685 | * FrameUp: Does this to Moon, and later Storm to sow discord among the Wild Pack. |
| 686 | * FriendToAllChildren: Subverted. She seems to be one of the best at babysitting Lucky and Sweet's pups, but it's revealed to be an act once she's revealed to be the villain. |
| 687 | * ManipulativeBitch: Literally. Breeze is probably the most cunning, deceitful and manipulative character in the whole franchise. She almost effortlessly plays other dogs, even her own pack, like pawns, sowing chaos and disorder among them without drawing suspicion to herself, and even after Storm realizes that she is the traitor, Breeze ''still'' manages to deceive and manipulate her at times. |
| 688 | * MusclesAreMeaningless: Sort of. She's surprisingly strong for her small size. |
| 689 | * TamperingWithFoodAndDrink: Does this to a deer, putting glass in it to injure Twitch. |
| 690 | * UndyingLoyalty: Out of all the dogs in Terror's pack, Breeze is the only one who is truly loyal to him. It is later revealed that she took his death murderously poorly. |
| 691 | * WouldHurtAChild: Kidnaps Lucky and Sweet's pups, and presumably killed a fox cub. |
| 692 | * WoundedGazelleGambit: Does this twice, once to scare the pack, and once after Storm confronts her, she angers the Fierce Dog and bites herself to claim Storm did it. |
| 693 | * {{Yandere}}: Implied. In the final book, Storm observes that Breeze genuinely "loved" Terror, and Breeze herself calls him, "my Terror", implying that she was in love with him, which would explain her [[UndyingLoyalty viciously zealous loyalty to him]]. |
| 694 | |
| 695 | !!Splash |
| 696 | ->"There's no rule that an Alpha has to look a certain way. Twitch is a capable hunter and fighter. And he always stood up to Terror better than the rest of us. He's smart; he knows how to survive." |

| 703 | * NumberTwo: To Twitch, after he becomes leader. Twitch also claims he was this to Terror, but Splash states Terror didn't really have a beta. |
| 704 | |
| 705 | !!Rake |
| 706 | ->"I don't take commands from you! Alpha said Twitch was in charge of the patrol dogs. That's who tells me what to do- Twitch! Not you!" |

| 713 | * ReasonableAuthorityFigure: As the leader of his own pack, he has no prejudice toward Fierce Dogs despite his experiences with them. |
| 714 | * StartMyOwn: In "''The Gathering Darkness''" arc, he leads a few dogs from the Wild Pack and starts their own. |
| 715 | * UndyingLoyalty: To Twitch, even after his pack merges with the Wild Pack, he and the others from it still take orders from Twitch. |
