So this is Crusada and Gentilo. They will factor into the story at some point.
Basically Crusada is the girl and Gentilo is the dog but they are one unit.
When Crusada lost her arms in a tragic motorboating accident, Gentilo swam in a managed to fetch one of her arms. The other was lost to the bottom of Lake Ontario. Somewhere near Muskoka.
So they have continued on with their lives as a single unit. Whenever she needs to slap someone, Gentilo picks up her arm (which was never reattached, doctors don't care to see dolls on their practice, except in LA) and does the dirty work. She is napping here. He is guarding her arm.

Also, Gentilo is and always has been a vegetarian.
