The event was completely unexpected for the beloved pets, but the humans were aware a month ahead of time. A great storm was coming, one that would destroy their town and kill them if they remained, or so the news said. With a look of regret in their eyes, some left their faithful companions behind, unable to take them to their safe havens. Others remained in the town, promising to never leave their canine behind, only to perish in the aftermath. Some...some were born strays.

Nonetheless, the city was destroyed, turned into uninhabitable ruins. The dogs that were left behind were strong, intelligent, and fit. Through all the terror, they reigned strong, and they fought for their survival. And now, they emerge with eyes round with horror after what they have witnessed. Their masters are gone, their home is destroyed, and who knows what obstacles they might face now.

Unbeknownst to these "pets", a pack of feral canines have run this cities for years, hidden in the shadows from those despicable humans. And now, they rise: will they be foes to these frightened pets, or will they let them join they ranks to survive?

Setting
The city is a place of ruins, with piles of rubble and ash, although a few buildings remain standing (or at least, they try to). Some dogs have found shelter in tunnels through the rubble, or in abandoned buildings that barely cling to life. The temperate is moderate, but a little on the humid side following the chaos of the storm. However, surrounding the city is a dark and foreboding forest where The Tempest calls home. Here, they hunt and prey upon smaller mammals, although they active scavenge the city. These little pets really do have their attention...
