This boy is one of a litter of four that was recently born at the New Life Ranch.  They are a special litter because they are all 50% Dires!  They all have either Short or Half manes.  Chuck here is a Short mane.  As he grows he will develop a much fuller mane, but for now he's just a ball of fluff.  As with many Tokota pups he will get gangly and look like his fur is too thin for some time before it really grows in thick.  Chuck is a pretty happy pup, he cares deeply for all of his siblings and as the eldest pup takes his job as protector very seriously.  He will never be a fighter, always the lover, but will have to learn how to stand up for what he believes in.  Despite being the eldest he is not the leader in his litter, instead his brother Rigmarole ultimately ends up being the more dominant of the litter.  This suits the "little" peacemaker just fine.  He would rather explore the woods than lead a hunt anyway.
