Synopsis
Cliff Notes Version
Whitestar permitted a patrol who found a dog-kit (puppy) to bring the creature back to camp. They let it join a litter to nurse and decided to keep it. When the other clans catch wind, they get angry and band together to demand that ShadowClan banish the dog. ShadowClan hides the pup at the dump, but eventually humans notice and capture Dogkit. Dogkit has not been seen since.
Full Version
A Work In Progress
On the 13th Day of the Moon of the Markedkit the a ShadowClan Patrol (consisting of Ravenwing, Shatteredtail and Silverheart) discover a Dog-kit near the Thunderpath in a burlap sack with several of its litter mates already dead. They decide to rescue the creature and bring back it to camp with them. Once there the Medicine Cat, Crestedback is summoned to tend the creature. Clan Leader Whitestar becomes aware of the dog-kit at the same time as Crestedback, just before Ravenwing returns with it.
Whitestar gives her blessing for Crestedback to treat the creature and concludes that the creature could give ShadowClan an edge over the other clans if it could be taught to live as a Clan Cat does. She quickly decides that, until a proper name for a dog can be figured out that he would be called "Dogkit". White Crestedback and his apprentice Smallpaw go about their business Whitestar arranges for the patrol to return and deal with the deceased pups that remain at the site of their abandonment.

Trivia
- The original plot was concocted by Silith.
- While the original way the plot was envisioned had the Dogkit quickly returned to humanity the In Character decision by Whitestar that the pup could be of great value to the Clan led to the Staff having to get involved and the plot being upgraded from an SC-Plot to a full Plot.
