Spartacus the Great!

Spartacus the Great is a dog in body; with a spirit that could only come from an ancient life form, somewhere out there in outer space. He is proud of who he is and enjoys having inter-creature friendships with all other good souls who understand him and sense his unspoken wisdom. While other canines are threatened by him, some people think he is a wise soul, and felines are confused of his origin as well; not knowing whether he is of their kind, human, or an alien spirit trapped in his body. Despite his job of being a human’s best friend he has many other talents; knowing when you are sick or somber, even before you do. Although as comforting as a kind parent, he is as fierce as a warrior; always taking the night shift to be the first to sound an alarm for his kinship at a moment’s danger. For now I will care for him, as much as a human can on these matters, for I know one day he’ll leave this earth and go back to whence he came from.
