Three puppies from the same litter who were left abandoned in the snow before being rescued by Shaolin monks who ran a small teashop in Crouch End, North London. As they grew, the puppies were taught many tricks and the art of swordsmanship. They were given a herbal tea which was in fact a youth serum.

After living at the tea shop for 60 years, one day the monks left, leaving them to fend for themselves. They became mercenaries but will only collaborate with the good guys.

After joining the IAA (International Animal Alliance) they were stationed in Japan, where they met a fourth puppy.
