Caelius Island, meaning "heaven", is far from that. Caelius is a huge chunk of land mass in the middle of the Pacific Ocean, that is completely overrun by wild dogs. The island is unmapped and unknown to the public, for a certain reason the government hides. It's been so long ago that the incident occurred, most dog that live there now have been born on the island. Only a few elders remain that remember the horrific story of when they were first abandoned on Caelius.
These dogs have grown up hearing the stories of how it all happened. It's been said that some scientists working for the government were messing around in the lab one day. After mixing and creating new chemicals they believed to have found some sort of cure. They tested the so called cure on mice and rats first, and when it seemed to be going well, they started to use cats, dogs, and other species.
Not long after, they discovered something had gone wrong. Through the cure, a new disease formed, that only affected dogs. The virus sweeped across the nation, so quickly, that they were unsure of how it spread. It was very deadly and if a human were bitten by an infected dog, death was most likely to occur.
The government was in panic. They tried to stop the spread of the virus and find a cure, but the results were inconclusive. Drastic measures had to be taken, as many people and canines have already experienced deaths.
Trying to keep it a secret as best as they could, the government enforced each and every canine in the country to be tested. If results came out positive, they would be shipped off to an island far out into the Pacific. They left a reasonable supply of fresh, living, meat, and ensured that there was fresh water sources across the island. With so much breeding and reproducing, they eventually became immune to the virus.
Caelius was big enough for the canines to split up into there own groups and live among there own species of dog. Fights broke out every so often, and eventually it turned into one huge war. Not many dogs populated the island at that time, but most of the species were, the once-domesticated dogs, and wolves - They were the only survivors. Today, they try their best to live at peace, only few fights tend to break out, and hardly any wars occur.
As the dogs expanded further into the island they made new discoveries, one of which was a vast area of ancient ruins. The history of the past civilizations lays unknown, but many new things are still uncovered. The dogs make use of the ruins anyway possible.
So many stories to uncover.
So many wars to fight.
Can heaven really be found in the middle of an ocean?
Caelius Island.
it's no garden of eden.
