More Cats & Dogs Living Together: Al & Lou
Al and Lou, despite their names, are both females. Al is a Savannah cat and Lou is a Rotteweiler and they live on an Earth where magic has begun to return, canceling out technology and giving rise to monsters and strange races. Most normal humans have retreated to non-magical areas, often abandoning pets when they left. So it was with Al & Lou, whose owner fled when her husband morphed into an ogre. Fortunately, the two pets were in the back yard and were able to escape into the wider world.
Since then, Al & Lou have traveled together through lands magical and mundane, where they have all kinds of adventures. During one close call, they barely escaped from a band of hungry orcs by leaping into a magical pond and swimming like hell. Since that day, Al has been able to teleport short distances and Lou can double her size for up to 10 minutes. Both of them seem to be fairly immune to magic and they can communicate via telepathy.
Recently, Al & Lou have taken up residence with a family of gnomes. They offer protection, companionship and, in Lou’s case, a creature to ride. In return, the gnomes offer a warm place to live, regular meals and children to play with. Al & Lou are thinking this might be a good gig to settle down in.

More Cats & Dogs Living Together: Goldie & Walter
Unlike many of the other dogs & cats we’ve covered, there is nothing strange about Goldie, the Golden Retriever bitch and Walter, the grey & black tiger striped male cat. They are good friends, but otherwise, pretty ordinary.
It’s their humans who are, well, “special”.
George Logan is the dad of the family and he is pretty clueless as to what’s going on around him most of the time. In the “using gardening tools” category alone, Goldie and Walter have saved his life & limb several times.
Mom of the house Anya is very easily distracted and forgetful. Once again, the two pets often save the day by getting Anya back on track.
Son Ted is 12 and likes to invent things. Often, these things are an early death waiting to happen, so the family pets must step in to keep Ted alive.
Sister Melanie is 9 and likes to go off exploring. Goldie & Walter have saved her from becoming lost about 100 times.
Between the four of them, they run the two pets ragged trying to keep them all in one piece and the home functioning. At night, when the family is asleep, Goldie and Walter, who have learned how to open the refrigerator, eat well, then rest up for the next day.
