Smile dogs live for about 100-150 years. The oldest living ones still alive are the three prophets, no one knows how long they'll live, currently all three of them are 183 years old

The species is an anthro species that has very brought shoulders and chest, very skyy besides that. Long large paws, long droopy ears, and a long tail. Most are covered in a mane, and a trail of longer fur leading onto the tail. Underneath their mask they have a triangle shaped mouth with 3 rows of teeth leading down the throat.

Lore
Creation

The Smile Dogs believed that in the beginning, there were three Gods: Alpha, Beta, and Omega. Each looking different, but the same. These 3 Gods were the start of their species, ruling over the lands with unequal power. Each God had different looks and views on the masks that don the species as of present.  The Alpha wear no mask, seeing it as a sign of weakness and lack of authority. His fellow Gods Beta and Omega think differently. They wish to keep the masks that there species soon will wear, giving the subjects identity and unity. Beta and Omega both wear masks, one with a gold mask the other a blank one. The Beta and Omega gods share both peaceful intentions, wanting harmony for their followers, but the Alpha thinks otherwise.

The Alpha is violent, malicious, and aggressive, leading to them bullying Omega. In one of the violent acts by Alpha, one of Omega’s legs was torn off in a battle between them. Omega is treated poorly by the other God, not able to fight back enough to take over the aggressive god. But, Omega had an idea that they hoped would work.

Omega chose three cubs to visit in their dreams, warning them about the tyranny of the Alpha god, showing them the horrors of this being and what may happen if it were to take over the Smile Dogs. He warns them of the dangers and evil that comes with the Alpha’s teachings, and peace is the only way for the species to thrive. Omega tells them to train and grow strong for that one day, the wrath of the Alpha will descend onto those who do not follow his ways. These three cubs accept their fate and train to defend their species from bloodlust and chaos.

As the cubs grow, Omega continues to fight as much as they can against Alpha, keeping him at bay long enough for those chosen Smile Dogs to overthrow the mad god. Sadly, as the cubs grow into adulthood, Omega is slain, but the chose three ascend to the Heavens where they are to defeat Alpha. The battle is long as fierce for these three chosen warriors; both sides fight long and hard, one almost overthrowing the other and vice versa.

In the end of this battle, the Alpha god is killed, his followers shook in fear and astonishment of what happened. Some revoke their loyalty from the dead god, others run to hid, not wanting accept this hard truth. After this long battle, Beta, who refused to get into the fights, takes over as the Goddess of the species, making them a peaceful race. She also mourns her fallen God Omega, making him a shrine so that his followers could mourn and respect their god with peace.

Even though the Alpha god was overthrown, some of his most loyal followers still roam the lands, wishing to spread his truth back to the rest of the species.

Lifestyle

the species lives in large groups on different areas. Most of them do chores like farming, finding food, building, or exploring. They live in small huts made of sticks and mud, raising families and growing to be apart of the workers.

If you're unsure just ask first! Almost anything is allowed! Just make sure to follow this basic guide for the body type!



Extra Details!

lore wise you can choose which god you'd like to follow! Or which prophecy dog! More information on them will be in post attached to the wiki, or on the amino! But the basics are the cruel maskless Alpha Dog, the peaceful Masked Beta God, or the Wise Masked Omega God

the species is mostly anthro but they do have huge paws (mostly used for climbing trees and crushing berries, carry lots), these hug paws make it difficult to run in a deal form.

as above stated, they can carry lots, meaning they are pretty strong. Though their strength is mostly in their paws and hind legs.

large dragging tail is used to balance their big paws, and to feel their surroundings, since they don't have eyes

they don't have eyes but they can TASTE color. It's weird I know, but their mouth is used to taste colors as they walk around, feeling vibrations and using their tail to know where to go.
