Abandoned and chained up in a yard by his family and left to fend for himself for no fault of his own, he simply grew "too big" for them to want to deal with any longer, Riot was found by rescuers with his chain embedded into his neck and severely emaciated at the time. He was helped by his rescuer's and shipped up north to potential adoptees before escaping along the journey. Due to help from those who found him, he remains reserved but curious with people. He lacks basic manners with people and even dogs alike and due to his size comes off aggressive and seemingly dangerous. At heart though he is a sweet boy simply looking for a loving individual to care back for him.
