History: Eli was born into a very confusing family. His parents were still friends but they were no longer together. Instead of going back and forth between the two of them, Eli spent most of his time following his father around.

As Eli grew up, he started spending less and less time with his father and more time with other street dogs. He become a part of a small gang with twins, Flint and Finn, and lone wolf, Koal. The foursome became the trouble-makers of Nome and were constantly running through the streets, chasing cats and small dogs, and stealing the mail right under the mail team's nose. After on such insident, Eli's uncle, Kodi, reported them to the police dogs to teach the gang a lesson.

Eli and his friends spent the night in custody of the newly established cop dogs, and were realesed in the morning. Eli figured out that it was his uncle who turned him in and tried to get back at him by sabatoging the mail team's sled. Eli just ended up hurting his own paw in the process (this is how a lot of the pranks he and his gang pull end up).

When Eli and his gang began to mature more, Eli fell completely in love with a new dog in town named Lily. Eli had no idea that she was actually Steele's daughter and, also, three years older than him. He tried on many different occasions to flirt with her, but Lily always turned him down. Finally, Eli gave up on the idea.

Soon, Koal and Finn started spending more time together and their group drindle down to the two bachelors, Flint and Eli. It had been two years since Eli was rejected by Lily, but he then met a young dog who looked just like her. Eli figured out that the new girl was Lily's daughter, Lela. Naturally, Eli began to go after the younger dog.

Being young and naive, Lela goes along with it at first. Lela starts to really like another dog, though, and starts to distance herself from Eli. Eli does not realize this, though, and goes into the woods to tell his mother that he thought he had found the one. While traveling, he ran off the trail because of large polar bear traveling passed that way. Although  he was not attacked, Eli did travel far from where he was going trying to avoid the bear. Eli became lost and paniced, running even deeper into the Alskan forest.

Eli gave up trying to find his way home and laid down in the snow, unknowingly allowing himself to freeze to death. Luckily, he was found by a female dog traveling into Nome. She dragged him back into town and laid him in the boiler room to warm up. When Eli finally did, he thought the dog was Lela, but as his eyes cleared, he realized that it was not her. The female was actually her sister, Darcy.

After that day, feeling the he owed Darcy for saving his life, Eli spent less time with Lela and more time with her sister. Lela was grateful for this and continued to see her crush, Eli immediatly moved on from Lela and grew to really care for Darcy, something that he never really felt for his other crushes. Darct wasn't really in to him at first but eventually came to think him funny and charming.

Personality: Eli can be immature and uncaring of other dog's feelings, but he never means to be hurtful. He tries to be a lady's man, but he takes it over the top a lot of the time. (He is a big fan of pick-up line and such things.) When he and Darcy are together, Eli becomes a bit more mature, but he still his happy, hyper, and puppyish most of the time. It seems that Eli is bond forever as a teenager.
