April 13 - Balloon Dog: Valdr

The red beast charges, teeth bared bright,
Through iron rain and bloodstained night.
No foe shall halt its fearless tread,
For war is where this hound is bred.

~ the Latex Edda

Bound to Týr, the god of battle and justice, this hound knows no fear, no retreat - only the call of war. 

He is neither cruel nor kind, for Valdr, Dog of the God of War does not take sides. He is the march of warriors, the weight of duty, the sound of steel on bone. And when the last horn blows, when the banners fall, Valdr walks forward still, for war never ends.
------
The balloon dogs of the gods are not mere creatures, but omens woven into latex and breath.  Each marks a turning, a moment when the old world tenses and the new one steps forward.  They appear not at random, but with purpose - something has changed.
