Yeah I think she was supposed to be more of a terrier mix, but you know what, she's magic! During this scene she had grown and blackened to combat the different creatures in various levels of Death.So I used my artistic liberties to make her more intimidating. I also just like big dogs, and I always had this picture of her becoming more german-shepherd-like when she grew. I'm very pleased to have met a fan! The books are amazing!
