My Magical Mutt Tag

This tag was created by La La @ La La in the Library for the Dog Days of Summer Challenge hosted by her and Jo @ Jo's Book Blog.

1.  WHO IS YOUR FAVORITE MAGICAL OR FANTASY GENRE DOG? IT CAN BE FROM A MOVIE, TV SHOW OR BOOK. WHY?

I have to say Dug from "UP."  I love that pup so much and who can resist this face?

2.  WOULD YOU RATHER HAVE A CANINE FAMILIAR, OR BE ABLE TO SHAPE-SHIFT INTO A DOG?  WHY? 

I would much rather have a canine familiar.  To me, it only makes sense as dogs are definitely my favorite pet and that way I'd always have one around.  I've also always thought shape-shifting would be painful too.

3.  IF YOU HAD A DOG FAMILIAR, DAEMON, OR WERE AN ANIMAGUS AND CHANGED INTO DOG FORM, WHAT COMBINATION OF BREEDS WOULD YOU BE? IT HAS TO BE A MIX BECAUSE THE TAG SAYS MAGICAL MUTT, HAHA!  WHY WOULD YOU CHOSE THEM?

I would be a mix of a wolf, German shepherd and boxer.  Wolves are so furry and just plain magical and they would get along great in cold weather so I'd never be cold.  Germies are smart and noble.  Boxers never grow up so I'd always be energetic and exuberant.  

4.  WHAT WOULD BE YOUR FAMILIAR, DAEMON OR YOUR DOG FORMS NAME BE?

Misha.  I've loved that name ever since I feel in love with Misha on The Walking Dead.  "Look at the flowers Lizzie!"

5.  IF YOU HAD A MAGICAL DOG WHAT THREE POWERS WOULD BE IMPORTANT TO YOU?  FOR EXAMPLE SPEECH, INVISIBILITY, FINDING LOST OBJECTS, LEVITATION, CHANGING INTO ANOTHER ANIMAL? WHY?

First of all, I would want my magical dog to have infinite life.  It's not fair that humans live so much longer than our furry best friends.  Secondly I would want him to be able to talk.  Finally, I would want them to have the gift of teleportation.  That way they could pop in from home and visit me at work, but pop back out when my boss shows up.

6.  IF YOUR MAGICAL DOG COULD TALK, WHAT ACCENT WOULD HE HAVE?

I can go one further - if my magical mutt could talk, he would sound like Idris Elba.

7.  IF YOUR FANTASY DOG HAD ONE ODD MAGICAL HABIT (i.e. MAKING THE WATER DISAPPEAR FROM THE TUB AT BATH TIME) OR WORE SOME STRANGE TALISMAN ON ITS COLLAR (i.e. A VIAL OF WOLF BLOOD TO MAKE IT RUN FASTER) WHAT WOULD IT BE?

My magical mutt would have the Prince symbol on its collar which would make him irresistible to all the ladies.  

8.  IF YOU WERE GOING TO WRITE A FANTASY NOVEL WITH A CANINE MAIN CHARACTER WHAT WOULD THE PREMISE BE AND WHAT TITLE WOULD YOU HAVE IN MIND?

"Hairy Pawter and the Delicious Bone"

The main character, Hairy Pawter and his friend Ruff and Grrr-moine would attend a magical dog school where they would learn to sniff out evil animal-hating people and then zap them with laser vision and make them disappear.  

I hope you guys had as much fun reading this tag as I did completing it!
