An AU that no one asked for

So anyone remember the Dogsies AU my sisters created where the newsies are all dogs in an animal shelter?

No? Well, I’m making this a thing.

Alright, so the base of the whole thing is as follows: the Manhattan newsies are all dogs living in an animal shelter run by Mr. Kloppman. Most of the dogs were found near the Irving Hall theater by Ms. Medda Larkin and the Bowery Beauties. Wiesel works for Animal Control and Snyder runs the city pound, and they tend to mistreat the dogs they catch.

JACK - Jack is a mutt who was found by Medda after he managed to sneak inside the theater and somehow cover himself in paint. Kloppman thinks he may be a Boxer/German Shepard/Terrier mix, but they aren’t sure. He is missing most of his tail (he only has a little bit of a stub left) as a result of Snyder, and he is determined to make sure that none of the other dogs wind up in the pound.

CRUTCHIE - Crutchie is a small puppy of unknown breed who only has three legs. (That doesn’t stop him from running around the shelter at top speed, though.) Kloppman thinks he may have been the runt of his litter, and his owners abandoned him because of his missing leg.

DAVEY AND LES - Davey and Les are two Pomerian/Husky mixes (possibly brothers, but Kloppman and Medda don’t know for sure) that were found on the street by Medda. They were found with collars, but no tags, so they’re staying at the shelter until their owners can be found. Davey is larger, more quiet (rarely barking unless it’s an emergency, like if Les gets stuck behind a kennel) and careful, while Les is tiny (like ‘fit in the palm of your hand’ small), loud, and very hyper.

SPOT - Spot is a stray cat (named for his brown and white spots) that likes to hang out around the shelter. He’s mostly indifferent to the dogs, but he seems to have taken a liking to Race. (Kloppman has a few pictures of Race and Spot taking a nap together.)

RACE - Race is a golden labradoodle with a lot of energy. He likes to chew on things, including Spot’s tail that one time (which resulted in Spot swatting his nose). He tends to stick with sticks now.

ROMEO - Romeo is a beagle who loves people - if you sit down, he’ll probably climb in your lap and take a nap. He was found in the Dumpster behind the Irving Hall theater by a Bowery Beauty named Juliette (hence the name).

SPECS - Specs is a Dalmatian who has two spots around his eyes, hence the name. He was found in a recycling bin full of newspapers, and no one knows if he was abandoned there or if he somehow managed to get in the bin by himself.

KID BLINK - Blink is a dog of unknown breed who is blind in one eye, hence the name. He tends to hang out with Mush (a border collie), who helps him with his vision impairment.

KATHERINE - Katherine is a cocker spaniel who ran away from her owners and found her way to the shelter. 

THE DELANCEYS - The Delanceys are two Dobermans owned by Wiesel. A lifetime of being mistreated by their owner has made them pretty mean, and Kloppman sometimes wonders if Crutchie is missing his leg because one of the Delanceys bit it off.

If anyone has any additions, feel free to go ahead and add them.

All it takes is one little comment about 'if he were a dog, race would be a golden labradoodle' and suddenly your four little sisters are all coming up with an au where the Newsies are dogs in an animal shelter and spot is the singular cat

I figured y’all would want a break from the pranks and shit, so here’s a cute cat video.

Working with dogs is better than working with people.
