Randal Hawthorne

Intro Species: Border Collie Likes: Shampoo, Soccer, Spicy Food First Appearance: LL#154 Randal is Diana Linda’s adopted son, living in her home from a toddler to a college bound adult. And ever since his earliest waking memory he has been best friends with Diana’s biological daughter, Mora Linda. The circumstances of Randal’s adoption are tragic; however he holds no memory of his original parents. Diana’s care was perfect and her love for Randal was uncompromising. Randal, to this day, still considers Diana to be his real mother and is purposefully evasive when told otherwise, which, unfortunately, means Randal has arguably taken the death of Diana the hardest. While the others that have known Diana can accept her passing and grow, Randal continues to suffer in her absence and it has affected his life more than any other event.Randal had to part from the Las Lindas household when Mora and Alejandra both announced their plans to leave, but did so very reluctantly. He returned out of loyalty to Las Lindas multiple times a month to visit his adopted mother and tell her of his achievements playing soccer while in college. This put a lot of strain on his existing friendships and relationships at that time, making the charismatic, energetic dog unhappily alone. After Diana’s death, he vanished. Randal only returned later to find Mora once he heard the Las Lindas homestead was again becoming the home he remembered.
