Andy Merton, a minor thug, took Hank, a corgi, from a fellow minor thug and druggie called [[Mannie]].  They both worked occasionally for a bigger thug named [[Mack Faraday]] and both owed him a considerable amount of money. Mannie just owed more. Mannie also owed Andy which is why he took Hank. He thought Hank was Mannie's pet, and would be motivated to cough up some money to get Hank back. Turns out Mannie had stolen him from a breeder to resell. SO basically Andy got Hank.

Afterwards he spent a good amount of time looking after Hank, mostly house training him to start off with, but over time, he grew close to the little corgi.

Andy Merton, a minor thug, took Hank, a corgi, from a fellow minor thug and druggie called Mannie. They both worked occasionally for a bigger thug named Mack Faraday and both owed him a considerable amount of money. Mannie just owed more. Mannie also owed Andy which is why he took Hank.

'"I did steal the amulet though. Straight up."
-- Andy Merton.

Desperate for money, Andy broke into a house over in Eastbrook, inside he found a shrine to Stormhawk. He took some jewelry. That was for profit. From the shrine he also took an amulet. Not for monetary value, he just wanted it.

The amulet was more than just part of a shrine decoration, it was the device that provided Stormhawk his powers. It would soon be the device that triggers Andy and Hank's mystical merging to become G-Dog. All it took was the minor act of Hank bumping his nose to the amulet while Andy was wearing it and BINGO! Enter the era of G-Dog.

The merging of their personalities was a positive for Andy as the corgi-breed conscious of Hank steered Andy away from criminal activity, leading them to becoming a super-hero. The improved Andy gained a girlfriend, Esme, along with an actual, totally honest job working at a bar.

After a few years of super-hero activity, Andy's life was now going incredibly well, until he was shocked to learn that dogs have a much shorter lifespan than humans, and that soon, Hank would be into his twilight years.

Following this knowledge gain, Andy's curiosity about the amulet took on an increased urgency, especially after learning that G-dog could fly. A feat they suddenly acquired while battling and defeating the Mecha-Nerds. So, Andy returned to the riverside home where he had burgled the amulet, and introduced himself to the owner,Marcy Martin. She was also the significant other to another super-hero,Stormhawk. The two discussed the amulet and Stormhawk as well as the advanced powers that were gained from the amulet, namely super strength, flight and lightning powers.

Andy left, filled with thoughts of dread and disappointment. He realized just how important Hank was to him and it was time to indulge more in Hanks needs and desires. The remaining times passed much too quickly, but through it all Andy did everything he could to make Hank happy and comfortable. The day came and Hank passed, peacefully and contentedly.

G-Dog was no more, and Andy knew he didn't have the heart to forge a new relationship with another animal and so he returned the amulet to the wilds, where it could start a new bonding.
