PRINCESS ZOELANDIA

​Shortfellow, in a moment of reflection about his diminutive but distinctive cousin, found himself here pointedly drawing on Lord Byron's famous lines for inspiration. He sought to convey his companion's quintessential character without specifically referencing her full title, which was Princess Zoelandia, the Supreme Huntress of the Woof Clan.

She walks in beauty like the night
Of cloudless climes and starry skies.
And all that's best of dark and bright
Meet in her aspect and her eyes.
—Lord Byron

She walks in booties, fit to fight,
With fearsome fang and piercing eyes.
And all the beasts that flee in fright
Run from her aspect, not her size.
—Shortfellow (aka Lord Zakwoof of Glenwoof)

She stalks in beauty like a cat
With endless time to play its prey.
And all that's pest, be thin or fat,
Find in her paws their final say.
—Shortfellow (aka Lord Zakwoof of Glenwoof)
