History

In the Novellas Arc

Moon's Choice

Pebble is returning from a patrol with Fly and Mulch, announcing the arrival of strange dogs on their territory. At their Alpha's probing for the location, Pebble responds that they were at the stream and taking their water as well.

As they confront the Wild Pack, Pebble is growling at the rival pack. She says that whatever Alpha says, she'll follow, as the pack is confronted by the Wild Pack's invitation of a challenge under Forest Law.

When the sickness begins to take a toll on the dogs in the Pack, Pebble works with the other healthy dogs to nurse the helpless and sick dogs.

Pebble is called for help by Moon as she fends off the hungry coyotes heading for the weakened dogs. Unfortunately, Pebble falls because of her wounds, a cruel bleeding gash on her flank. She survives the coyote battle but eventually succumbs to illness.

Pebble is sick alongside Moon. She is given Fiery's leaves by Snap to aid her sickness. Pebble dies from the illness and is respectfully buried by Moon, Snap, Mulch, and Whine.
