Alpha dog (from the SafeBorders cyber family) Magic qualities – alert tracking sense, sees ultraviolet beams, senses danger and puts out warning signals.

Alpha loves to email, is great at digging down spam in the nearest cyber-garden, has a nose for finding lost items and people and for helping you find your way.

He is faithful, protective and caring (a good friend ;-). He loves to be scratched on the belly and is always happy to play. Alpha’s magic backpack contains armour that protects against viruses and a magic paw that can turn bad guys into good guys.
