Bio:
Back when Sgt. Stallion was just a little foal, Troy Mastiff was the big bad bully in his hometown, always getting in his way, and beating him up afterwards. This was mostly because his father was an enforcer for notorious criminal mastermind Al T. Bonne, and he wanted his son to carry on the family business as he got older. So, every day, he would be a big shot on the school playground and in Stallion's neighborhood, and because of his father's ties to Al T. Bonne, no one would call him out on it. Stallion was his favorite victim of all, and he would constantly harass and pick on him for no apparent reason other than to make his father proud.
Finally, Stallion had enough, and when he was in high school, decided to confront Troy once and for all. During the big school dance, Troy was messing around with Stallion's date, and he gave him a big slug to the jaw, putting an end to his reign of terror. Afterwards, Troy's father chewed him out for disgracing his plans, and decided to disown him for good. Then, after hearing that Stallion had become a sergeant in the Petropolis army, Troy decided to get even with him, hoping to make his father proud of him once again.
But, a young female rabbit named Posey Shaymin intervened, and told him that being a brute towards the weak isn't the way, and decided to teach him some manners. Troy didn't want to partake in this, but after a while, he learned that protecting the weak was more satisfying than being ruthless to them, and became a freelance hero for hire under the alias "Cujo." His big break came when Sgt. Stallion was captured by General Guar's men in Tibet, his species' homeplace, and despite his past hatred towards him, decided to go rescue him and make amends with him. He then saw Guar's troops torturing him endlessly, and he couldn't bear the sight of it. So, Cujo went nuts on the troops, and got Stallion out of there before they could get back up and fight back. Cujo then apologized to Stallion for treating him like garbage, and begged him for forgiveness. Stallion forgave Cujo, and decided to add him to Team Iron Hoof as their muscle, AND their guard dog.
Cujo eventually met up with Kitty and the rest of Team Katswell no thanks to a misunderstanding from them. He assisted Sgt. Stallion and the rest of Team Iron Hoof in bailing Team Katswell out during a typical DOOM run-in, where he matched his own physical strength with Elvis Stantler's, that team's muscle. Team Katswell thought they were trying to one-up them, but another run-in with them proved that they were trying to help them fight DOOM as well. So, when General Guar tried unleashing a deadly virus on Petropolis, both teams teamed up, and Cujo assisted Elvis in overpowering Donovan and his soldiers with their combined strength and power. After Guar's plans have been foiled, Kitty forgave Cujo and the rest of Team Iron Hoof, and he became a valuable ally to her and the rest of Team Katswell and TUFF as well.

Personality & Traits:
Cujo is, as his nickname implies, very savage and brutish, making him a pretty effective bully back in the day. However, once Posey taught him some manners, and that protecting the weak feels more satisfying than beating them up, Cujo is much more socialable and sweeter than he ever was before, making him a better canine. But, if you cross him, or mention DOOM in any way, shape, or form, he'll still unleash his full fury and show his monstrous side at the drop of a hat.
Cujo never liked Sgt. Stallion when he was a pup, but as he got older, and became a member of Team Iron Hoof, he came around to him, becoming one of his best friends ever. Caroline Caniway has also taken a bit of a liking to him, believing that underneath his rough, savage exterior lies a sweet guy that just needs some love. But, he hates DOOM ever since he saw them try to torture Stallion, and if he hears any mention of them in any way, he'll go beserk, and show no mercy to them.
His quick temper has gotten him into trouble on occassion, since he often lets it cloud his judgement, and confuses him. Aside from that, he also tends to get distracted by pork-related dishes, whether it's porkchops, pulled pork, or pork rinds. But, Cujo tries to keep in mind that savage brutality is never the answer, and tries his best to be a strong and helpful member of Team Iron Hoof no matter what.

Well, that's Cujo's interpretation for "TUFF: Team Katswell." Hope you like it, Willie!

This profile picture you've done of such a character looks very nice, and it's totally easy to mistake him for a good guy despite his scary appearance with those red eyes.

This guy has to be the most bad-ass hero character in all of the T.U.F.F. Puppy fandom. Look at him! He looks like he came from pure darkness, and has enough rage and power to put the Hulk to shame! Man, it's hard to believe that this is a good guy. Of course, it makes sence that a scary dude like him started out as a bully and then eventually a villain, so it's great to see that he learned how to be good.

He's also got a thing for pork? Well, it'd be a good idea to not bring Porky along with this guy.
