Dusty

Dusty was the name of Robert James Macready's main pet sled dog and a minor character in Crackshot history.

History
Dusty was born in the small northern town of Ferntiuktuk. He was raised along with five other sled dogs. He was raised by Robert as well as Robert's father, Joseph. He was given the name Dusty as a puppy due to the fact that he loved climbing into old dust covered boxes that the small family had owned. When he was a full grown dog, he was Joseph's lead dog who helped to lead the sled dog team whenever Joseph had to go out of town. He was killed on the night of December 20th, 1925 when the Assimilator Beast attacked the town and was consumed by the creature.

Years after his death, the Assimilator would go on to take the form of Dusty as a disguise to trick people into petting him only to be killed.

Appearance
Dusty was a lightly built husky with white fur with a darker streak going down his back and the tip of his tail. He had yellow wolf-like eyes, and wore a brown leather collar with a golden dogtag that had his name on it.

Personality
Dusty was a very hyperactive and fun loving dog. He enjoyed spending time with his owners as well as sledracing, which gave him a rush of excitement. Often times he would act on his best behavior which which result in him getting rewarded dog treats. Dusty was also a brave dog, doing the best he could to fight off the Beast on the last day of his life by biting its tentacles while it attacked the other dogs. Though he met his fate to the Beast, he didn't go down without a fight, showing how loyal he was to the bitter end.
