Description

Before starting, the "Dalmadoggo" ("Doug Dotson" in this story) is one of my OCs characters (we can even consider him as... glups... my fursona), so the background I have written for him down here is only valid in THIS story, that was just on purpose to integrate him to the No North universe but it's not his main original background. And I consider useless to precise that this character COMPLETELY BELONGS TO ME even though I wrote a story for him in this universe...

Anyway, enjoy his own story like if he was part of the No North universe !

Name: Douglas Edward Dotson

Nickname/Aliases: Double D, the Dalmadoggo, Spotty, Douggodotson, the Spotty Mutt, Splotchy nose, Dotty Dumpty.

Breed: Dalmatian.

Age : about to finish his teenage years.

Height: 58 cm

Occupation : Half-time pianist for Saloons (btw, he’ll never do anything that deals with cows anymore).

Personality: Doug can be seen as a very positive and enthusiastic doggie but it’s just an appearance to make people happy because the reality is that he’s suffering a lot inside. He’s mostly stressed, depressive and sometimes even scared, but ruthless and daring when it comes to saving a friend from danger (even if he is not aware of that yet).

He remains a pretty kind doggo and is searching for a little more love and tolerance in his tough life.

Background :

Douglas Edward Dotson, or as everybody call him, Doug, originally comes from a farmer family.

He’s got one father and two brother and sister. His grandfather was also living with them.

His grand brother Pongo (of his entire name Pongo Charles Dotson) wasn’t... the best exemple of all time to follow. He was pretty turbulent and got Doug and his sister in bunch of troubles during their puphood till the very begining of their adolescence. Moreover, he was most of the time behaving as a jerk and mainly kept annoying Doug, which often ended in fights (at least Doug can thank him for teaching him how to fight). However, they secretely adore each other and it was a heartbreak for the trio when Pongo got expulsed of the ranch by their father for his behavior which he could not condone and that was useless to the farm.

Nevertheless, Doug had always been super friendly and very close to her sister, Dolly (of her entire name Dolly Edwige Dotson because, ye, they really enjoy long names in this family). They were born as twins and were inseparable, and even after Pongo left, they managed to pass through this and never stopped messing arround together. Doug has always been her favourite crazy « Dalmadoggo », such as she was always calling him. Even after he left.

But all this benevolence and kindness remained mostly tarnished by his father, Michael Dylan Dotson. Doug and his father didn’t… get along as much as with Dolly, Pongo or his Grandpa.

Just to introduce him to you a little, Michael was born in the DustyPaw country and always lived there. His father was originally from Dalmatia Kingdom but Michael never have been there.

Then, he met a Dalmatian femaledog from Dalmatia, in his countie and they both fell in love. They had three puppies (including two twins). After that, she disappeared for unknow reasons (but Doug bet that it was due to the wish of his father to stay at DustyPaw) and Michael was left alone with his father. He never talked about her and none of the three pups have ever met her (except Pongo but he was to young to remember about that). Anyway.

Michael had an important reputation of Cow Dog in the DustyPaw countie and after that Pongo was gone, because he never could have succeeded, this responsability fell on Doug.

Doug never wanted to be a Cow Dog and it was one of the main points of their rivalry.

Michael was very exigent and to hard on Doug, he was always saying that he was a slacker, a good-for-nothing, and that whether he had a lot of spots, he was just a trivial dot. His motto was always that « in life, you are the cow catcher or you are the cow » but for Doug, this words had no value coming from someone who has always lived in a flock, such as a cow do.

Doug always hated his father for many things, for banishing his brother, for controlling his future, for never wanting to leave their county, but the biggest reason is to never have told them about their mother.

Fortunately, Doug was getting on well with his grandpa Ed (Edward Charlie Dotson).

Ed was particularly close to Doug and was always here to console him in trying times.

To Doug’s mind, Grandfather Ed was such the father he never had.

He was originally from Dalmatia and never ceased to extol the beauty of this region to Doug, that it’s a lovely place and that discrimination about Dalmatian’s breed doesn’t exist there.

But one day, after an other violent argue with is father, Doug, who was responsible for guarding the cows in the farm, decided to open the barn and let all the cows escape in barking to scare them.

Unfortunately, Edward, who was passing by to console Doug, was killed by the herd of cows running in his direction.
Doug felt terriffied by what he has done and fled from the county, leaving behind him his sister, his father, and his dead grandpa. He always felt guilty about what happened to his grandfather and his greatest wish, after finding his mother, would be to go back in time and never having opened this barn.

Since then, Doug has traveled from city to city to find a stable job (although all the jobs he has had so far haven’t held up) being called all names because of his origins, being manhandled and sometimes bordering on death.

He also managed to find a new hobby in playing the piano in some saloons, having him earn enough money to survive.

He ended up arriving in the small town of GoldMarrow and staying at the GrandMarrow Hotel. Sometimes he gets paid to play the piano in Margaret's Saloon and plays poker.

He has already heard of rumors that there is some mess in the city because of certain dangerous dogs, like the story involving the infamous Roukan and a mutt named Steban Eveler, but this doesn't scare him more than the dogs that threats him to leave the town or break his muzzle.

Relations :
About the family relation : Doug never knew his mother, the only thing he knows is that, according to his Grandpa, her name would be Maria Perdita Splotcher and that everything suggests that she would have returned to Dalmatia.
Doug hasn’t been very appreciated by all the dogs on his way, but Margaret seems to enjoy his calm personality (and his piano music obviously!), and he enjoy talking with Lester sometimes, which is totally against intolerance and extremist stuff (...even if he's a little wary, it's still a Dalmatian after all!). Though he’s still pretty young even if he’s almost an adult, he enjoys playing Poker with Chase and other dogs sometimes and… have a secret crush for her niece, Marsha, but Chase isn’t that dumb and know that something’s happening.

Trivia :

- Dalmatians are struck by discrimination. Some extremist intolerant dogs reduce Dalmatians to the rank of cattle for their skin resembling that of cows.

-Doug is wearing a scarf to hide his biggest scar due to some extremist dogs who wanted to rip his skin off to make a coat, once.

-He’s got lots of dots but make no mistake, some are hidden bruises and wounds.

-Doug wish that one day he could go to Dalmatia to find his mother, but overall, wish that he could see his sister and his brother again.

- Doug’s second name is that of his grandfather Edward.
