India: Goa : Resident Dogs : Tina

Name: Tina
Gender: Female
Colour: Black with brown and white markings
Age: Unknown


Funny characteristic: Tina will have a go at you if she thinks you're not taking her seriously!


TinaTina is the madam around the centre. She takes no nonsense from anyone and if you catch her on a bad day you'd better keep yourself to yourself. That goes whether you're human, canine, feline or any other species for that matter. She is big, strong and has a permanent expression on her face which means business. It's her way or the highway! Having said that she does enjoy the feel of a scratch behind the ear or on the tummy from time to time and any other dogs that are looking for the same pleasure had better wait their turn. Tina is the perfect guard dog. Scary looking, loud, and strong enough to pull a tanker, intruders definitely think twice before crossing swords with her. But when Tina decides to take a day off she doesn't bother with anything or anyone and you could march in and out of the centre at your leisure and she wouldn't even bother to raise her head.
