Jay's Mummy and Pop!
Brutus: Belgian Malinois x Belgian Groenendael
Kali: Silken Windhound
Brutus led their pack with his strength, exemplifying the aphorism "Might makes right." Kali was a terrifying bitch in her youth, fierce and quick tempered. She would suffer no rivals, attacking other females in the band viciously for so much as daring to look at her mate - even killing them. Her beauty had seduced Brutus, her terrible jealously kept him. Janus was not well attended as a child. Having never raised a litter to adulthood, his mother and father were frequently absent and overly preoccupied with matters which were not their needy, temperamental son. He did everything he could to make an impression on his parents, and show that he was worthy as a leader as well as a follower, though nothing seemed to catch their eye.
Brutus was aging, and his weakness would soon be taken advantage of by the younger, stronger dogs; it occurred to the Belgian that the loyalty of his son could potentially extend his own life and power. Now old enough that it seemed unlikely the child would die, Janus's parents began to take more of an interest. He was crude and hostile, but not without potential. Brutus reached out to his son, and Kali began to dote on Janus like never before. Their sudden attachment to him confused Janus, but he was eager for an opportunity to form some sort of bond with Brutus and Kali, and quickly fell into line as their bodyguard and enforcer. He was not happy with this lot as a crude hunk of muscle, but his parents assured him that they appreciated what he did for them, and that seemed like it should be enough.
And then they murdered a priestess of Zonje and died violently.
