Late at night howls are heard from the woods of Sayville. From these packs came the legend of Gashen, which is a Secatogue Indian word for “Tenacious.”
Many years ago, deep in the north woods of Sayville a legend was born. His name would become Gashen because of his determination for survival and revenge. Gashen was a mixed dog, though hardly a mutt. His father was a blend of timber wolf and a Pit Bull that escaped from cruel master. His mother had a more complex lineage, a cross between a Doberman and a Great Dane. There were even some genes from hunting dogs that were used to chase accused witches in times of old.

Wolf hybrid cubs. Kids from the football team disfigured the cubs with acid, for fun. |

The girl the wolf hybrid saved was tormented by the bad kids from the time she was very young. |
Gashen was cared for by his mother, though he never saw his father. He sensed that his father was dead. The mother and her puppies would wander the forests north and east of the village. They would feed on livestock and small animals with the pack. Occasionally they would raid a garbage can late at night. There was once a kindly girl that would give them food and hold the puppies. She noticed he was the biggest and the most headstrong.
One day the mother brought them deeper into town than usual. As they were wandering a net was thrown over Gashen’s mother. Suddenly there was confusion and panic among the puppies. They were surrounded by human boys, and one called Romulus said, “Put the pups in the box.” As the momma dog was squealing in fright her babies were brought by in the crate.
One by one the puppies were taken out then tortured in front of the mother. The momma dog squealed and barked in panic witch made the boys laugh. She tried her best to escape from the netting and became enraged. A kid said to Romulus, “Lets start pouring acid on the mutts.” Some of the acid got on the face of Gashen and he used his paws to try and stop the pain. Gashen knew he had to escape somehow. Unlike his siblings, he got control of himself and his nature told to escape anyway possible. As one of the teenagers was taking him out of his box Gashen seized the opportunity purely on instinct. Gashen bit the boy’s hand and ran away as fast as he could. The boys made an attempt to catch him, but he escaped. They were not dealing with any ordinary dog.
From a distance the puppy saw and heard the slow killing one by one. The laughter and scent of those boys will stay with him forever.
Gashen found his way back to the feral dog pack. From now on he would have to claw and fight for every scrap of food. When he reached adolescence he was driven away.
He joined another pack that traveled throughout Long Island along the parkways. The parkways are roads with forest all along the sides that connect the forested state parks. It is common for people to see packs of feral pets wandering along these roads, traveling between parks.
Over time the puppy grew to a ferocious canine. The advantage he had was that he inherited the best qualities of his ancestors. Size from the Great Dane, the ferocity of the Pit Bull, the viciousness of a Doberman, and most important of all: The spirit of the timber wolf. The puppy became the alpha male.
Gashen eventually wandered to South Queens along Southern State Parkway. He became separated from the pack and was lonely, hungry, and lost. One night he heard the howls of hounds. He came upon a giant junkyard full of fellow creatures. Finding a way in, he got himself a free meal.
Unfortunately, the junkyard was owned by a gang of criminals. Seeing how ferocious he was, they decided to keep him. One said, “Let’s train this pooch to kill, it weighs over 300 pounds and will win every fight. Think of the money we can make betting!"
The gang hired a trainer who beat the poor beast into submission. Every technique for quick murder was drilled into his head. He would learn the weak points of man and beast.
One of the criminals said, “The next step is to pull out the dog’s teeth and replace them with stainless steel fangs.” A corrupt veterinarian was called. “Can you do the job, doc?” the criminal said. The veterinarian responded “Yes, for the right price.” A mold was made of Gashen’s teeth.
The day came for phase one of the operation. Gashen was strapped down and the cruel doctor pulled out each of his teeth. Then he slowly implanted a set of stainless steel fangs.
Gashen was used by the gang to intimidated informers and for bets in dog fight. Two dogs put in a pen to fight to the death, night after night. Gashen the survivor, always.
After one fight the boss said, “Bring the dog out to the trailer,” to one of the trainers. The trainer put a leash on him and proceeded out the exit. Luckily for Gashen the trainer forgot to lock the cage and he ran away, following a highway toward new land.
Gashen eventually reached a strange place, the land was not straight. It rose higher and higher. It is a place the humans call “The Catskills.” There was the sound of howling. Living in the mountains were German shepherd/wolf hybrids. Escaped pets that became feral. After winning a fight with an especially vicious wolf half-breed, he became the pack leader.
One of the females of the pack had a litter of 6 cubs, which she kept hidden on a side of a mountain. It was not a safe place. At an unexpected time a huge bear approached the den. The mother barked and tried to scare the bear but to no avail. The bear wanted to eat her cubs.
Hearing this, Gashen ran up the side of the mountain to protect the cubs. He immediately lunged into the bruin ripping his stainless steel incisors into its hide. The bear tried to kill Gashen with this paws, but it was too late. The bear fell and the rest of the pack joined in for the meal.
During a winter storm Gashen was separated from the wolf hybrid pack and he became lost. The only landform to follow was the Hudson River which he followed until reaching a highway. This highway led him back to his home village of Sayville.
He was back in the same place, but he was no longer the same dog. He was a huge beast, trained, and thirsty for revenge. The scar on his face from the acid gave him a frightening, monstrous look. He immediately killed the dogs that tormented him while a puppy, becoming the Canine King of Long Island. He now led the hunts of livestock and deer.
One night, the members of the football team were having a party. It was at one of their houses near the east woods. Deb was walking by the house with a friend, and a girl said, “Hey, you want to join our party.” Both of the said, “Sure, thank you for inviting us.”
They came inside and there was a big party with all the big shots from the school. Deb felt something was not right. She sensed right. Immediately, she felt herself surrounded the kids that tormented her at school for years. Romulus said, “Look who it is, Debbie.” They all got a good laugh. Although Deb was pretty, she was considered “unpopular.” Her fellow classmates could saw she was afraid and nervous, which only emboldened them. She felt a hand on her backside, and yelled, “Stop that.” The boys were not touching her because she was attractive: They were grabbing at her because they liked to see someone shrink in shame and degradation. She began to plead, “Please leave me alone” which they thought was funny. They knew they could get away with this. They would all vouch for each other with the full backing of their powerful parents. Romulus responded to her, “But we are having fun!”
After they ripped her shirt off, they all laughed in hysterics. She grabbed a plate and belted a boy that was holding her arm with a plate. Quickly she ran out the back door into the woods.
Some of the boys were disappointed, since the woods were dark and it would be impossible to find her. But Romulus said, “Release the dogs!” The father of the teen that owned the house had a half dozen vicious hunting dogs. “If the dogs chew her up, we will not get in trouble since they got out of the cages on accident. It would not be considered our fault.” So Arthur, whose house it was, let the hounds smell Deb’s shirt then released the horde.
Deb was desperately running and became tired, but began to feel safe. Then she heard the barking of dogs, and knew what was coming for her. She headed into the swamps hoping to lose them. The barking and the laughter of the boys quickly grew loader. Then the dogs came upon her. In panic, she curled up into a ball to protect herself form the biting.
The members of the football team hid back behind the trees laughing, knowing it was something they would get away with.
Suddenly the hounds stopped. “Why?” the boys wondered. Hearing a rustle in the shrubs, they glanced over and saw a huge, monstrous beast. Gashen did not forget the day of the acid. The colossus immediately recognized the scent of the tormenters of him and his family.
Enraged,
Gashen leaped forward towards Romulus and ripped into his side, the stainless
steel teeth ripping into his ribcage. The other boys could hear Romulus’s rib
bones snapping while Gashen thrashed him back and forth until he was dead. Now
it was the others turn, and none escaped.
Deb was frozen with fear. Gashen was blinded with fury lounged at her. But then an image in his mind stopped him. He became confused. Suddenly he remembered her running in fear from the boys, and he remembered: She was the human that fed and showed kindness to him and his family.
Gashen turned and ran. The girl was worried about Gashen because he was badly injured. Early the next morning her family her scratching on their back door. It was Gashen! The family took him in and he lived his days as their beloved pet.
Late at night when you hear the howls from the woods, remember that they are from the descendents of Gashen.
