Summary
Sirius: A Canine Mind
Sirius is Thomas Trelone’s audacious creation - a large, striking dog endowed with human-level intelligence.
Raised within the Trelone family, alongside young Plaxy, Sirius is an extraordinary and talented being. His bond with the Trelones, particularly Plaxy, is profound, and his inquisitive nature explores the vast landscape of human knowledge and experience.
Yet, Sirius remains a dog, and the internal conflicts that plague him find no easy resolution.
