Among the unaffiliated, Thucydides stands out as a Dalmation who is a flicker of black and white that always knows the shortest line. Friends learned long ago not to interrupt Thucydides near the cracked freeway loop, especially with a bent spoon argued to be a tiny shovel in hand. Thucydides keeps a low profile around the council fountain, and somehow that is exactly what makes other pups notice. Every so often Thucydides stumbles on a relic too odd to explain and wisely decides to explain it anyway.
