Sushi Dog Design: https://sta.sh/0gyq6kmcpo

(TW for Animal Death & Mentions of Animal Abuse) I thought a sentimental design would be appropriate for an anniversary sushi dog, so I based this design off of my childhood dog Delilah, who passed away in June 2018. Delilah was a rehabilitated 'bait dog' rescued from an illegal dog-fighting ring before she came to me at age ten. Because I don't want to traumatize anyone who might read this, I won't elaborate on what a 'bait dog' is, just know that Delilah was understandably very skittish and afraid of people and other animals because of her background. I was ten years old and bugging my parents for a puppy, but instead, I adopted Delilah, which my parents weren't keen on at first because she would growl and bark at people and was generally afraid of everything. I still wanted her, even though she wasn't a puppy like I had originally asked for. I don't remember what it was that drew me to her over any other puppy or dog I could have picked, but ten-year-old me must have had great perception, because Delilah would come to be the sweetest and most loyal companion a person could hope for. It was a lot of work for a little kid to earn such a frightened animal's trust (and required a lot of sneaky treats of people food that my parents didn't know about lol). Delilah crossed the rainbow bridge after a brief battle with cancer. We didn't know for certain how old she was, since she was an adult when we adopted her, but the vet estimated her to be 16 to 17 years old. I don't know how many years she spent in that terrible situation and what exactly she went through, but I hope that the 10+ years we had together were happy enough to make up for it. I thought a sushi dog to honor her memory would be a nice comfort for me. I would love to use an item in the future to give her angel wings to match her halo. ♥

EDIT: Whoops, almost forgot! I consent that by submitting this design, I am unable to transfer it for any reason, on any platform, unless I retire them from the Sushi Dog species and that they will unable to be reverted back once complete.
