The Swift-Dog Pack is a pack that appears in Sweet's Journey.

Background[]

Callie, the Beta of the pack, remembers being race-dogs for the longpaws.[1] Similarly to horses or other racing animals, the Swift-Dogs were urged to chase a dead hare for the amusement of longpaws.[1] She admits, however, that the Swift-Dogs only wanted to win the race and knew perfectly well that the hare was dead.[1]

History[]

Before the longpaws arrived, Sweet's former Packmates lived a peaceful life in a longpaw-maintained wild, according to Sweet[2] once she sees the territory of the Wild Pack.
According to Callie, the Swift-Dog pack was formed when the Swift-Dogs raced for the longpaws. From there, Callie remembers choosing a name for the pack.[3]

Sweet's Journey[]

The Pack is captured by longpaws during a challenge between Sweet and Beta, and are taken to the Trap House. When the Big Growl strikes, all except one of Sweet's Packmates are crushed and killed by walls and debris. Sweet is one of the only two Swift-Dogs who made it out alive, the other one being the Pack's former Beta, Callie, though she is badly wounded and dying.[4]

Trivia[]

  • The pack is possibly composed of mostly former race-dogs which explains why the dogs are all Swift-Dogs, since Callie explains that the longpaws abandoned the Swift-Dogs once they couldn't race anymore.[1]
