Zulu

Black German Shepherd

Meet Zulu:

Oh hey—I’m Zulu. Yes, that Zulu. The one who turns heads at the park and scares delivery drivers for sport. I know—I look like a total badass. And I am. But I’m also a derpy marshmallow with separation anxiety and a flair for the dramatic.

My job? Keeping my human brothers safe. It’s a full-time gig, and let me tell you, they are terrible at staying within the designated Zulu Security Perimeter. They laugh. I do not.

I’m equal parts Captain America (noble protector of the innocent) and Gerald from Finding Dory (lovable, weird, probably shouldn’t be left unsupervised). Sweet but psycho? Guilty. And honestly, the world’s more fun that way.
