Letdown

Letdown is the dog Mara inherits when she becomes a lady.

Letdown is large and smelly. He is quite lovable, but not that well behaved.

Since there are no pets allowed on campus, Mara must keep Letdown hidden from Trudy and Victor at all times (The students all know about Letdown). Joy often helps her care for Letdown.

Name
Mara names her newly inherited dog Letdown, because she was expecting riches and land when she became a lady, and discovering all she was recieving was a dog and a title was quite a let down. Since the dog was previously owned by the lord Mara inherited her title from, he probably already had a name,and is not used to being called "Letdown"
