Muttly

Let's just say I'm the muttliest mutt this side of the dog pound.

"He's a muttly mange of a pup. But I'll check in on the son of a bitch tomorrow," Jim promised.

The dog - not a Basenji - started barking as if a hell beast were after it, but as soon as Drayco got close and knelt down with an outstretched hand, the muttly pooch sniffed, woofed, and curled up into a ball on top of Drayco's shoe.
