The Council
Dogs from any breed, size, and background are more than welcome to join the council, as long as they are part of either of the three acknowledged faction.
Pets are usually seen as the upperclass, Farm dogs are the working class, while junkyard is known for being the lowest amongst the packs. All of them deserve a voice despite their different life styles. How much their voice is heard depends on how invested they are in the wellfare of the Council.
When a dog enters the political system of the community, they are granted a voice to help create new laws, and make lives of many dogs better. Help to govern the community. There are different levels, and they decide on how much your character can affect the council and what kind of power they have.
In order to move a level up, you must note the group with proof of completing the given tasks.

Faction Leaders [LOCKED]
(Level 5)
Each faction has a leader except for Strays. The leaders are representatives of their faction. Their job is to into account the voices of their faction in order to guide and help the town in ways that will be beneficial to each dog. For small or big issues, they act as judges on each official matter. For the entire Canidale issues, they work as one along the council to find solutions.
These dogs are usually voted by others to help guide them. Any dog, of any size and breed can become a leader. Everything depends what they have to offer.
They are the highest ranked amongst the members of Canidale´s goverment. They make the major decisions together and need approval of all parties. All three need to agree before making a law official.
