Here is Akumu, normally a very large Akita-Hellhound (For all of you who haven't met him yet.) my OC.

This here is his smaller form, a normal sized Labrador. Normally, in pictures I've done he doesn't wear a collar. The collar symbolizes to his host is that he's not in control and that you can give him any command. But, when he grows to be his large Akita form and the collar snaps off, he's in control and the host dare not give him a command or else they will feel his wrath.

I know he looks sweet and cute, but that background shows that he is not someone to hug.
~Enjoy~
