The Pups

By David Perlmutter

This the story of the Pups, a popular canine comedy team who lead a double life as super-powered enforcers of justice, thanks to a common intersecting piece of their past which they discover in the course of meeting each other for the first time.

They, and most of the dogs of North America in this future time, are sentient, intelligent beings through “experimentation” of the U.S. government which did not go the way it was planned. Dogs now exist as a persecuted minority in the U.S., though they take measures to protect themselves socially and economically from exploitation by the humans. A road accident outside of Rolling Fork, Mississippi, and the sudden appearance of a meteor from outer space, was the source of their mysterious powers.

Complications come in the form of the Genius, a super-villain intent on both conquering the world and destroying the Pups. Can the sextet of heroes possibly overcome the villain and save themselves from destruction? Stay tuned…
