In reviewing chevreuil’s hints (taken from Sarluna’s previous post)

<Snip>
#1:

chevre's hint #1 (so chevre can go to bed)

#2:
Lampyris noctiluca under pup in signature (means Glow-worm)
- Maybe a dark design that "glows" in some parts?

#3:
There is a new Dessup-Scene from the 1st September.
First comment: Look at all those plants. (LINK)

Adding the image of the old truck

If we're going by swirls,

wouldn't this pup also have a possibility of being Nadine's?

[catmother456]

I’m starting to lean towards this being aquila’s pup



This is why I cam to this conclusion and I apologize now for the long post but I want to include everything I found to lead me to this pup


Page 9 - Aquila posted Bring on the mischief >:)

Shiva Inu’s are known to be mischievous and have a larger than life personality. They look a lot like a fox (also knows for mischief)


On Page 12 - Interest was highlighted with the color Cypress. Well, I found this tidbit that also ties into Aquila’s dog being 131 years old (which is the hint that was found in aquila’s bio)

ANCESTORS OF THE SHIBA INU

“Another dimension of the protective character of the wolf has to do with its powers of prophecy vis-av-vis the natural world. In the high Tamaki mountains north of Hongu there is a giant tree known as "the cypress of dog howls." Here wolves are said to have howled continuously on the eve of the great flood of 1889, which killed many people in Hongu and nearby areas....The wolf appears as a human ally in the mountains, protecting villagers from the vicissitudes of the natural world around them.“

Also on page 12, Aquila posted

yeee, gold star to you guys for your investigative skills

what does it mean??? *winkwonk*


Wink wonk is primarily used as spam but can also be used to replace random words in a sentence for comedic effect, but it is also a Shiba gif/image!




Another thing that ties into the 131 years old hint and something that was said on discord, which was - only 19th century kids remember <:3c:

Anyone who is in any way interested in the Shiba, the Akita or one of the other Japanese dogs has heard that representatives of these breeds are ranked among the "primitive" or "original" dogs. But what is in fact meant by primitive breeds?

Modern dogs were started being introduced in the 19th century, and which kid wouldn’t be thrilled to have a dog and would remember this?

Another fact pointing to the 1889 year - in 1889 the Hokkaido wolf was eradicated by the farmers and breeders on the Northern island. The Hokkaido wolf is one of the wolves believed to the the descendent of the Shiba

Below are the ancient wolves compared to the modern Shiba




And notice on the second one, the Shiba doesn’t have a curly tail. This one is the Jomon Shiba, a Shiba researches were breading to be more like the Japanese wolf and it has a more similar external appearance to the Japanese wolf, as you can see by the photo above.

So the pup I chose has the ears of a Shiba, a mischievous smile and since it’s ancentor’s tail was not curly, and the Jomon Shiba’s tail isn’t curly, this tail could be that of a Shiba as well. After all, it is 131 years old so is not the modern Shiba we know today.
