Dogs

Dogs are a reoccurring theme in the Deep Leffen Alternative Universe. Between being mistreated, cast with unfortunate characteristics, and often referred to with lesser regard, dogs are often associated with misfortune and low status.

Hungrybox has a dog named "Braxton Leatherbarrow", who came from a liter of six puppies. It is implied that Hungrybox is about to sacrifice Braxton based on the fact that Braxton "has a few days left to live" and made "sacrifices of the pups to Moloch one night at a time". https://twitter.com/DeepLeffen/status/1295426755784781825?s=20 
==Play Style and Mechanics==
In the Deep Leffen Alternative Universe, dogs are known to be representative of both smash characters and smash players, typically having a lame play-style and low skill ceiling https://twitter.com/DeepLeffen/status/1258851801392128000?s=20 https://twitter.com/DeepLeffen/status/1264965907643801600?s=20 . Despite DeepLeffen's wishlist for a polite yet self-harming dog character, Sakurai designates the dog character as impossible to use, yet one which "advance[s] the meta by a few years https://twitter.com/DeepLeffen/status/1264965907643801600?s=20 .
==Fire and Hell==
Dogs are almost commonly associated with heat, hell, and burning in the lore. Hungrybox tells a kid his dog is going to hell for various reasons, including "not loving [the child] enough to stay alive", "[the child] maining Luigi","[the child] not being able to tech for the life of [them]",not being able to beat the dog in smash, and having "zero fundamentals". Sakurai famously burns a dog, mistaking it for a small, talent-less child with little aptitude for smash that had the face and body of a dog . Hungrybox and Deep Leffen often consume hot dogs, even referring to them as "dogs" at some points https://twitter.com/DeepLeffen/status/1246914567864713218?s=20 https://twitter.com/DeepLeffen/status/1284170267812671494?s=20 .
