A medium-sized dog with light brown fur that possesses a gold cast and threads of black woven through a lean neck and shoulders. His eyes are a luminous bronze made even brighter by the black kohl-like markings surrounding them.
Background
After the dog pack that had been terrorizing Staten Island was put down during a frantic search for runaway animal empath Hailey Gerken, a litter of orphaned puppies was found under a mausoleum in a snow-choked cemetery by Jensen Raith. Rather than put them down, he took the four-week-old litter home and began bottle-feeding them by hand, hoping to individually adopt the puppies out as soon as they were big enough.
Von was adopted by Peyton Whitney.
Deaf does not equal dumb. Even though Ludwig Von (or just Von for short) cannot hear, he possesses an uncanny ability to pick up on things that people don't (or can't) and gets by using a combination of visual cues and vibrations he can feel in the air and on the ground under his feet. If it wasn't for the fact that he doesn't respond to verbal commands, he could pass as an ordinary dog.
Very much a case study of a one person animal, once Von forms a bond with someone — in this case Peyton — it lasts for life.
Von was left behind in the Ark when Peyton went to Alaska with Ezekiel. Peyton assumes the dog is dead but it was last seen in the care of Adam Monroe.
Currently in the care of:
Adam Monroe -- maybe?
