[ WP ] In the canine world , humans are celestial beings who live for more than 500 years at a time . The caretaker of you and the past seven generations of your family will die soon .

My family heritage dates back to dog year 7933 from a German Shepherd named Archduke Cornelius Esqueband... the caretaker named him Ace. He was a police dog and all 7 generations have served with our caretaker. Many risking fang and paw to protect him and many going down in the line of action. 
 
 The caretaker took good care of my family and I have fond memories of him letting me run round in the large field which I owned of course. The caretakers son had helped my father's generation and was caretaker to my uncle until he ate a rasin. What a way to go... 
 
 The caretaker is slow nowadays, he relies on other people took care of him, but I guard and love him none the less. The younger master often visits... but today the owner was holding something in his shaking hand, a lead. 
 
 I dreaded the day I would face this ceremony, when a god gives another god a being to guard them... my uncle failed them already and I was never taught anything about this. 
 
 I became a service dog like my forefathers before me, however several dog years had passed before I could see my first master again. He was lying down and was in pain, he spoke two words to me which resonated in my very soul... 
 
 Good boy...
