Personality:: Being a born stray Kayla isn’t the kind of dog who is just going to walk up to stranger and give them a sniff or a lick. She is wary of all and doesn’t trust many. As a stray the only thing Kayla could ever rely on was herself. Her lifestyle has made her independent and having to come with ideas to intend her survival she is a fairly cunning canine. When she is around strangers she is guarded and distant always being the observer. Since her “adoption” so to speak Kayla has become a more social creature, although she still wants nothing to do with strangers when it comes to Ethan and the rest of the pack she docile and unusually relaxed. Going from stray to house pet has been anything but an easy adjustment but she cares deeply for Ethan and her other packmates and as long as they stick by her there isn’t any obstacle she wouldn’t at least attempt over coming for them.
History:: Kayla was born in the snowy streets of Alaska. As a stray she learned early on that she was keep her distance from humans and those that protected them. She was taught the skills of survival from her mother who made sure that all her pups knew how obtain the things they needed to survive. After becoming a year old she left the safety of her mother as the rest of her littermates also did. At first she stayed with two of her sisters but slowly the small band of dogs split apart and soon she was on her own. During the day Kayla would scavenge for food retrieving scraps she found in the garbage or taking to the forest the fish out of unfrozen rivers and eat off of discarded carcasses.
A couple of weeks before her second birthday Kayla was wondering around the forest at night. She hadn’t managed to find any food during the day and had taken to searching the forest grounds at night. Unknown to Kayla that night the humans where out tracking a pack of wolves that had been seen in the village and as the sound of dogs closed in around her the hunt had moved from the wolves to her. Of course Kayla had tried to run but the hunters dogs had trapped her and the humans mistaking her for a wolf shot her. Fortunately for her the shot that got her hadn’t been fatal and as the humans moved in closer they realized that she wasn’t what they thought she was.
The human that would one day take her in Ethan had been among the hunting party and feeling bad for the injured husky had taken her back to his home. After getting her seen by a vet who removed the bullet Ethan took Kayla under his care and nursed her back to health. Kayla like any stray dog in her predicament would be was terrified and given that her first interaction with humans had led to her being shot she couldn’t really be blamed. The start of Ethan and her relationship was anything but smooth as she was as aggressive towards him. Any time Ethan came within feet of her she could snarl or growl at him as she was scared of what would happen if he came close. However Ethan was patient with Kayla and also persist and over time Kayla became comfortable with Ethan enough to actually let him in. It took a couple of months for Kayla to get back to full strength and by the time she had Ethan and her had bonded and of course Ethan by that time had taken Kayla in forever.
