Bio::
Rescued from a shelter as a pup by a caring Russian family that had been living in the U.S. for many years. Was raised by them & still lives there as a house dog, though not without causing occasional mischief by hopping the fence to go on little adventures

Personality ::

Athleticism and wanderlust is a mixture that often ends in Artemi getting himself in trouble. With his family usually quite busy with work, he finds himself home alone frequently, so will search for things to keep himself entertained. Being raised in a Russian-speaking household, this is his primary language. He is quite good at understanding English when it is spoken, and while he struggles speaking it himself, he knows just enough to get his point across. His favorite pass times mostly consist of unintentionally annoying his neighbor, a police dog named Kane, who is fortunately quite patient with his high energy, and often gives some quick English lessons every now and then when he's feeling gracious. Overall, Artemi has a hyper, happy-go-lucky demeanor. He sees the world through a rose colored lense, always looking for the good in everything. He loves making new friends and can come across as a little overbearing at first.
With his childish personality, it is easy to under-estimate him, but when necessary he is a surprisingly good fighter and will quickly step up to something when his friends and loved ones are threatened. He does not like being pushed around, and is not a pushover despite his easy going nature.
