Boss Ironside is the sort of Bulldog who is low slung, deliberate, and rarely in a hurry. Pups near the bone polishers den say Boss Ironside once stayed up all night arguing with a coin with a face nobody recognizes, and won. There is a corner of the sleeping machine rooms where Boss Ironside is unofficially assumed to be in charge of nothing in particular. Boss Ironside keeps a private promise to leave nothing important undone before the next strange morning.
