As legend would have it man and beasts lived together in harmony from the creation of the world until a violent break ripped through the middle of the world. Man was on one side and all of the animals on the other. The dog seeing the chasm widening quickly, tried to jump across but only managed to get his front claws onto the cliff of the side the man was on. The man reached down and pulled the dog to safety and ever since, man and dog have been inseparable companions. The dog is now man’s best friend in gratitude and loyalty but forever cut off from the rest of the animal kingdom.
