Hubris

A working bred, patchwork dog, created for and similar to, Gordan.

Appearance

Hubris, like his master, is a mishmash of other breeds to create something great.<ref>Hubris was in the train car with us, draped over the seat next to Gordon, head in Gordon’s lap. The animal was a fighting breed, square-headed, eyes obscured by bushy brows. Even with the coarse, rust-colored fur that covered him, Hubris’ raw strength was apparent at a glance. - Tooth and Nail 7.1</ref>

Project Goal

Stop-gap measure to prolong Project Griffin. Gordan realized that Dog was able to detect issues Gordan has with his own heart before he could, which lead to Hubris being created to detect theses same irregularities.

Hubris is intelligent enough to understand and execute commands such as "Touch my right shoe, then Gordon’s left knee, then sniff the door, and bring me the umbrella."<ref>"“Touch my right shoe, then Gordon’s left knee, then sniff the door, and bring me the umbrella,” Mary said.

Bemused, I watched as the dog went through the motions.  Nose touched to Mary’s shoe, then Gordon’s knee, before it hopped down from the wall, rounded the table to touch nose to the door, pausing.  It eased an umbrella out of the rack by the door and carried it over to Mary, being careful not to strike me in the back of the knees with the pointed end." -Excerpt from Tooth and Nail 7.10</ref>
