The Top Ten
1 Lucky

Lucky is amazing. I have only read the first book, and he is already my favorite, even if he wanted to be a leash dog! He is way stronger and braver than any other survivor dog. Best survivor dog ever!

He cared for the leashed dogs and his sister so well, and what do they repay him with? Nothing. Bella and Sweet are so bossy! If I were him, I would have just left the leashed dogs because all of them were being so mean and proud. And after all he did for them! It is not fair!

My #5 favorite Survivors character! I mean, come on, you gotta love the OG boy! Unlike Firestar from Warriors, the OG character stayed the same throughout the series and didn't become the worst leader in history.

It's been a while since I read Survivors, but I still LOVE Lucky. He's one of the best dogs in the series! He has such a sweet relationship with Storm and Bella, and I hardcore ship him with Sweet. I don't care that he was a bit bossy to the leashed dogs in the first arc. He's still an amazing character!

I love how he started out as a loner and then became a headstrong beta in Sweet's Pack! I don't see how you couldn't love him. He's the best! I absolutely adore Lucky. He's just the sweetest thing!

2 Bella

Bella is so gentle, brave, and loyal. I love the romance between her and Arrow! She is so adaptable to change. From a leashed dog to a pack dog, and from a pack dog to Arrow and her pups. She cared for Storm and cared about her brother even when he was being rude and annoying.

She was an alpha to the former leashed pack and had stubborn bravery that I admire. She played an important role in both series and was the most willing to give up her life as a leashed dog. Though she made mistakes, she tried her best. Through and through, she was the best dog in Survivors. A true survivor.

3 Martha

My number 2! She's so sweet and loving, and I love how much she likes swimming (a lot like me!). Second only to Daisy, in my opinion.

I found my old opinions on here. Lol. I think Martha was very sweet and caring! She helped the three pups grow up, even without their mother, and I ship her with Bruno (and possibly Mickey). This series is very underrated, and I hope more people read it!

- North Tailz (2024)

Martha has been a mother dog to all of the dogs! We were probably all emotional when she died in the Storm of Dogs. I will miss Martha very much when I read The Gathering Darkness. I think she has been one of the kindest dogs in Survivors and cares about Storm so much. She is like a mother dog to Storm. I think that she deserves to be in more books.

Now Martha is with the spirit dogs. We will all miss Martha for a long time. Sorry for the spoiler!

4 Mickey

Mickey was so great. He never really gave up. He's so fearless. He deserves to be up higher. He isn't my favorite, but he has a lot of potential.

-The-chad-Storm

He was so loyal to his longpaws and absolutely loved his owners. He was very devoted and reminds me of my Border Collie.

- North Tailz (2024)

Mickey is a black and white farm dog. Mickey is my favorite dog out of them all because he is caring. He is also good with dogs, is a good hunter, and still cares about his long-paws. I don't think he is credited enough in the book! I wish he was in it more often. Go Mickey!

5 Sunshine

I love Sunshine. She deserves a long rant and more votes! She used to be a leashed dog and had a hard time adapting to the new wild dog way of life. But she still tried her best and kept her cheer! She is such a sweet omega and never complained about her job, unlike most omegas who are upset about their place in the pack's social class.

Sunshine doesn't even mind having to eat last since she is a tiny dog and doesn't need too much food. She is so sweet to the pups and truly cares for them. Sunshine was also one of the only dogs who trusted Storm and believed her story after the bad dog incident with Breeze.

I adore Sunshine. She is definitely my favorite character, and I hope she gets higher on the list!

6 Bruno

Nice character, strong and sturdy. But why was he helping Alpha mark Lucky when he was part of the pack that made him betray them?

My favorite. He reminds me of Longtail from Warriors. Character development along with realistic flaws is key to my heart, and Bruno has it!

- North Tailz (2024)

7 Storm

(SPOILER) Storm has such a sad life. She is hated and tries to clear the dark shadow of her origins as a fierce dog. Alpha keeps trying to kill her or get her out of the pack, but later on, she kills Blade.

-THE-CHAD-STORM

Storm is amazing! She is such an interesting character to read, and I loved her arc. Ever since Storm was a puppy, she had been unfairly judged based on her heritage of fierce dogs. Only Lucky and a few others truly accepted her at first.

As she starts to grow, her brother Wriggle dies, and Fang turns to side with the fierce dogs, while Storm stays loyal to the wild pack. Storm especially struggles with knowing how dangerous she is when she rips off Terror's jaw, just when she is a little puppy.

After the storm of dogs, one of her greatest mother figures, Martha, dies, which is really sad. Everyone also begins to trust Storm, feeling more relaxed about her and finally accepting her as their packmate.

In the next arc, suspicion rises as a bad dog starts to kill and terrorize fellow wild pack members, and eyes start to turn to Storm. Storm is distraught by the murders and is determined to prove her loyalty and get to the bottom of this.

A bunch of stuff happens, and I am too sleepy to name them all, but Storm runs away from the wild pack, knowing it will probably be better this way. She runs into Bella and Arrow, and stays in their pack for a while. Arrow and Bella then casually tell Storm some suspicious things Breeze did, and Storm starts to tie the facts together and comes to the conclusion that Breeze is indeed the bad dog.

She rushes back to the wild pack, knowing Lucky and Sweet's pups aren't safe near Breeze. She encounters Breeze, and she proceeds to do the epic monologue villain reveal. Storm is enraged and leaps at Breeze, and the treacherous dog calls for help the moment she does so. Lucky and a hunting party turn up and take Storm hostage for 'being the bad dog,' and you probably know what happens.

To my point, Storm is such a sweet and strong dog. She's one of my favorite characters next to Sunshine.

8 Daisy

I love Daisy! When I first started Survivors, I knew she was my favorite. Then I wondered if it was Martha (who I sorta think should be in love with Lucky because of how they both raised Storm).

When I read Book 3, I thought maybe my favorite was Lick (Storm). But eventually, I just realized that my favorite really was Daisy. Also, this picture is very cute.

Yes! I absolutely love this character! She is so cool, friendly, and nice, yet not completely flawless or perfect. Also, one of my best friend's #1 character is Daisy.

-North Tailz/Wolfsong

9 Sweet

Sweet is such a loyal, friendly, and swift dog. She respects Alpha and follows his commands. Sweet is a friendly dog because she is always willing to talk with a packmate and help those in need.

Another reason I love her is she's so swift, fast, and graceful. She's brave to fight the leashed dogs and stand with her pack. Sweet really does live up to her name.

Sweet is caring, brave, smart, and loyal. She has been a good Alpha and is loyal to the pack. She has been a main character in the book, and she is very brave. She has always been on Lucky's side.

10 Alfie

Pig-headed, stubborn, and aggressive. But kind, brave, and loyal to a fault.

- North Tailz (2024)

The Contenders
11 Fiery

Fiery was so nice to Storm. When he challenged Alpha, he did it for Storm, and in the fight with Terror, he died protecting Moon. He was so loving and caring.

Go Fiery! He was very loyal to his pack and father (Alpha), although not afraid to step up to him now and then (as much as I love Alpha). I think Fiery is underrated and deserves more love!

- North Tailz/Wolfsong

Fiery has been a loyal dog to all of us! He was very brave when the longpaws killed him. Sadly, Beetle and Thorn have no father. I think we all were sad in the end. Farewell, Fiery!

12 Moon

I loved Moon's novella. I think her story is super good, and I really ship Moon and Fiery. I hated it when he died because I think he could have been a decent alpha if he had challenged the wolf alpha.

Moon really cares for her pack and refuses to give in to being driven out by the Wild Pack. She is also strong and knows when to swallow her pride and accept that joining the Wild Pack is the best solution. She and Fiery really cared for each other, and it was so sad when he died. Moon is a great character!

Moon has a big heart! She cares about her packmates! Although things got pretty rough after Fiery died. Moon is caring and helpful and has always been there. She knows many things as a former wild dog.

13 Whisper

Whisper was such a sweet dog in the time he lived. He was so loyal to Storm after she defeated Terror, only for him to die. It's so sad.

He was nothing but loyal to Storm and did not deserve to be killed.

He liked Storm so much and then died. RIP Whisper...

14 Twitch

Twitch has lost one leg, but he is still strong and brave! Usually, Twitch is one of the top favorites. He is very kind and helpful. He helped on the mission to save Fiery! Poor Twitch does not have Spring anymore as a litter-sister.

Twitch was so brave when he got glass in his mouth. It was sad when he found out his sister drowned.

Love him. He was strong even with his dead leg.

15 Alpha

Honestly, I feel bad for Alpha, and I think he's a little underrated. He struggled through so much in the wolf pack. Remember, he could have been worse after his backstory.

Alpha's backstory is very sad, and it's no wonder why he turned out the way he is. Also, he makes a very interesting antagonist.

Honestly, it was thrilling to read about him.

16 Arrow

He's my favorite. I love how he was able to realize that Blade was wrong and join a pack that he didn't even know. He was very brave to do that. His relationship with Bella is very sweet.

17 Wiggle

(Spoiler) Wiggle is ADORABLE! He might have died sadly, but everyone will still love him.

18 Spring

Poor Spring died in the Endless Lake. It was too late for Martha to save her. She was always on Twitch's side. She was a great addition to the pack, don't you think?

I loved her name from the start. It was REALLY sad when she drowned.

19 Breeze

I think Breeze is the traitor in the pack. Anyone on board? Tell me when the new book comes out. I have to know.

I love Breeze. I thought that it really didn't make sense that she would intentionally be the traitor.

20 Thorn

I think it was sad that he grew up without a dad, but he still was happy. Go Thorn!

21 Snap

So nice! I love how she looks so sweet, lives up to that, but can really fight! That's the kind of character I like.

23 Morningstar
24 Bettle
