because I'm lazy I'm going to copy/paste what I put on dA for this

My dad was talking about how he thinks his spirit animal is a wolf again earlier today and he even changed his phone signature to 'Join the Pack!'
...I regret showing him how to do that...

But anyway, I've said before that I think my spirit animal is this red husky malamute dog wolf thing
It's only shown up once and that was around Thanksgiving but it was the first animal I remember not attacking me in one of my dreams, I usually have cats coming after me...or alligators in one...
I was wandering around in this forest or woods and I just kept walking without really thinking of where to go but I stopped when I saw the dog laying under one of the trees in front of me. We stared at each other for a few minutes before he got up but he stayed still again because I didn't move. Finally he started walking but I still didn't move. He stopped after a few steps and looked back at me so I decided to walk towards him. Once I did he started walking again, getting ahead of me every once in a while but he always stopped and waited for me to catch up. He led me to the end of the woods and stopped next to the last tree and when I walked past him into what I'm guessing was a field I woke up

my friend said that was my spirit animal because it was the first animal that didn't try to hurt me and it helped me, I didn't even realize I had been lost until I started following him

The animal didn't look exactly like the one I draw, I draw what I think I would look like as the animal as my fursona and I've drawn my persona with it's ears and tail. The actual animal has a different style to the tuft of hair on his head that goes between the ears and his black fur isn't as long on the back.

Some of the descriptions for a dog are:
-Dog, Power Animal, Symbol of Loyalty, Friendship, Unconditional Love

• Unconditional love Undying loyalty Protection Nearly unbreakable spirit Companionship Helper Understanding the difference between and the duality of doubt and faith Knowing when trouble is close An innate ability to sense good or evil in beings

-Dog: noble, loyal, teaching

-"If a person carries Dog medicine, he or she is usually serving others or humanity in some way. Here you will find the charity worker, the philanthropist, the nurse, the counselor, the minister, and the soldier...The message that Dogs are trying to give you is that you must delve deeply into your sense of service to others. Canines are genuinely service-oriented animals, and are devoted to their owners with a sense of loyalty that supersedes how they are treated...It is as if a tolerant spirit dwells in the heart of every canine that asks only to be of service."

• Heals emotional wounds in humans Understanding of the duality of doubt and faith Companionship Unquestioned loyalty Love Knowledge of all things sensual Protection Ability to smell trouble from a distance
