A male side protagonist

Bruno was a sturdy, bushy, large, heavy, shaggy, thick furred brown, male German Shepherd-Chow mix with black patches, a hard, pointed bulky face, and a heavy, big, burly, thick-set, muscular body, long forelegs, big paws, a feathery tail, and a long, dark, pointed, whiskery muzzle.

Bruno is a calm, honest, vigilant male with a big appetite. I can imagine his voice being rough and possibly country sounding.
