Careful. River-Dog can be tricky, even when she's bringing you wonderful clean water. The stream's deeper when you go farther in, and the flow looks fast.

The River-Dog is a female[2] Spirit-Dog that is said to represent the rivers and streams.[3] She is also thought to be kin to The Lake-Dog. She is described to look similar to Martha.

History[]

In the Original Series[]

The Empty City[]

The Leashed Pack are very pleased to find a clean river to swim in, but Lucky warns them that the River-Dog can be tricky, and that the stream gets deeper and flows fast. When Bruno struggles and almost drowns, Lucky pleads the River-Dog to help him, praying to the River-Dog to not take him yet. After Martha saves him, Lucky thinks to the Spirit Dog that although she did not help them herself, she must know Martha well. Lucky realizes that Martha must kmow the River-Dog better then he did, and she had her respect too.

When Lucky has a dream, he hears whimpering and thinks that River-Dog can't expect him to die when Bruno is drowning. After Lucky wakes up, all of his positive thoughts about Martha and the River-Dog have disappeared with the dream.

A Hidden Enemy[]

Darkness Falls[]

When Alpha asks Lucky why he should let him stay in the Wild Pack, he thinks that perhaps the Spirit Dogs brought him to unite the Pack, and recalls that the River-Dog had revealed the path of fresh water.

When Lucky walks through the city after leaving the Wild-Pack, he thinks of Martha and her affinity with the River-Dog, and he wonders how the former Leashed Pack could have betrayed him.

After Lucky has to leave the Fierce Dog pups when hearing their crying, he is thankful that the River-Dog had eased the soreness where the foxes had bitten him.

After Lucky finds Mickey, they come to a fresh river, and Lucky pleads the River-Dog to carry them safely to the other side.
