I'm gonna give you some info on the group now if you've never read the books.

Name: stick dog
Breed: his breed is unknown, but from his coatcoloring being orange is yellow in the box I will consider him as a golden retriever (I will fix his coat color)
Favorite things: hanging out with the group, finding food, his pipe
Background info: stick dog can't remember if he ever had a family or a life outside of being a stray, his life is one that is actually a mystery to everyone

Name: mutt
Breed: mutt (One I'm going to fix his coat color as well as it's meant to be bright yellow, and number two real helpful Tom, but I don't blame him is not even he knew what mixed breed much is)
Favorite things: finding food with the others, going on adventures, putting stuff in his fur (he actually does this), eating frisbees(he also does this)
Background information: mutt actually used to lived with a male man named Gary/Gray, and whenever they were on a mail route, mutt would actually stick his head out the window and eat bugs. He misses Gray

Name: stripes
Breed: Dalmatian
Favorite things: hanging out with her friends, brain storming, hot dogs
Background information: stripes actually used to be a guard dog at a mall until the nacho cheese grande incident, which she doesn't like to talk about but from the way she shuttered in the first book when mentioning it leads me to believe that she ate the nachos she was meant to be guarding and they did not taste good.
Fun fact: she is actually one of the most relatable characters in the book by far and is my favorite for the sense that she is so relatable and that she's the funniest, as well as her security background

Name: poo-poo (he is named after his breed! Not after using the toilet and going number two)
Breed: poodle
Likes: food, bashing his head into stuff
Hates: squirrels (i'll get into why later)
Background information: poo poo used to live on a dairy farm (an ethical one at that) that also happened to have cherry trees, squirrels in the cherry trees would often throw walnuts or seeds at Young Poo poo's head,It is unknown how he got to the city, because the others happen to be there I believe he was either kidnapped from his home, he ran away, or he fell in the river and washed up in the city.

Name: Karen
Breed: dachshund (or as I always say it, Dutch hound)
Likes: inch worms, gender neutral names
Background info: as it is unknown if stick dog was born into stray life or not, Karen is the only one that can be considered candidly born as a stray, her mother used to raise her in a dumpster in the back of an Asian French Italian fusion restaurant, she and Karen eat the scraps there until they were kicked out, it is unknown what happened to Karen's mother, but from what we know Karen's mother most likely was not born as a stray.

Did I forget to mention that these books take place in a city? Well I guess I did! Yeah the location is in a city yet stick dogs pipe where he lives is out on the cusp of the city near(or in) a forest. Fun fact, in the third book we are introduced to a cat that stripes named stick a cat after sick dogs plan to help the group save the kitten who was not in need of saving actually but had an owner who is getting pizza, I do not plan to make an Instagram for stick cat though
