My contribution to the RARE 2012 Anthro Calendar whose theme is mythological anthros this time.

May I introduce: The hellhound.

"a supernatural dog, found in folklore. A wide variety of ominous or hellish supernatural dogs occur in mythologies around the world, similar to the ubiquitous dragon. Features that have been attributed to hellhounds include black fur, glowing red or sometimes glowing yellow eyes, super strength or speed, ghostly or phantom characteristics, foul odor, and sometimes even the ability to talk." – quote from Wikipedia
