Specialist Turned Generalist

I spent too long on this not to include my silly little story ideas for the characters (right to left):

Quiggs: Male, Human. Aspiring vet tech and friend to all living things except maybe wasps and slow walkers
Lady: Female, Mixed Breed Dog. Quigg's beloved pet, best friend, and the only actual dog he walks
Fido: Male, Pietrain Pig. Hoity toity, high living porcine who loves to play but hates to answer to authority
Mr. Chubs: Male, Silverback Gorilla. Former abused circus "star" currently living on his own in the weird part of the city
Rover: Male, Cottontail Rabbit. Mischievous little imp critter who likes messing with the others
Noodles: Female, Buckskin Horse. She loves EVERYONE and EVERYTHING and INVADING YOUR PERSONAL SPACE
Cuddles: Male, Amur Leopard. A kitten trapped in a big cat's body, seemingly born to lay on/crush your lap
Snuggles: Female, Grizzly Bear. She may seem grumpy, but she's only really aggro when you hurt her friends
Buddy: Female, Asiatic Elephant. Quiet, gentle giant who escapes the zoo for her daily walks
Smiles: Male, African Penguin. Total class clown with a chip on his shoulder from Life in the Old Country
Fluffy: Female, Indian Star Tortoise. Raised by dogs, she has no idea she's a reptile; often heard barking
