Domestic Dog (Canis lupus familiaris)
Off-Leash Predation Threat to Resident Fauna
Domestic dogs -- not one individual, and not wild fauna -- that reach the territory off-leash or through a gap in the fence line. Every dog sighting is logged under this shared entry rather than a named character. They are recorded as a predation threat: a loose dog will chase and can kill the sanctuary's smaller residents (raccoon kits, opossums, skunks, ground-foraging birds), and their scent alone suppresses nocturnal foraging for hours afterwards.
| Known Territory: | |
| Foraging & Diet: | |
| Active Rhythm: | Variable (Daytime & Evening) |
| Threat Assessment: | PREDATION RISK — hunts resident fauna |
| Predation Risk: | High • hunts: raccoon kits, opossums, skunks, ground-foraging birds Loose dogs chase and can kill the sanctuary's smaller residents; a single incursion suppresses nocturnal foraging on that camera zone for hours. |
| Ecological Function: | Non-native predation pressure on the sanctuary's residents; not a wild territory resident. |
PERSONALITY PROFILE
Official government-business energy -- police, fire, and EMT all in one, always on patrol, investigation, or inspection.
More about them
Plays every appearance like they're on the clock for the city: patrol duty, a fire inspection, an investigation -- often specifically investigating the skunks. Regard the raccoon family as vagrants to be caught; the animals who like the raccoons never let that happen, always steering the dogs off the trail.
- Barnaby the Skunk: a frequent subject of investigation.
- Mama Bandit's family: the dogs' target, but the family's allies always throw them off the trail.
