While the Cornerians are a wide variety of species, Dog Soldiers are the main group which serve in the Cornerian Army and Cornerian Defense Forces, making up various sections of units such as the Bulldog and Husky Squadrons.

Defending the Lylat System and its capital planet Corneria against threats of invasion, they are led by General Pepper who is a Hound, another species of Dog. Bill Grey, another Dog Soldier, is Commander to the Squadrons mentioned above. Captain Shears, another Hound, was a high-ranking officer in the Cornerian army before his true allegiance was revealed.

History

Lylat Wars

Dog Soldiers were very much in frequent action during the Lylat Wars, where the Cornerian military machine was badly outnumbered and outgunned by the Venomian space fleets. The Dogs that survived the war, each gave a respected salute to the Star Fox team after their support proved invaluable.

Aparoid Invasion

When Andrew Oikonny's Rebel Army struck back at Corneria with vengeance, Dog Soldiers were thrust back into service, taking to combat the forces of Andrew Oikonny at the busy battle against the Rebellion at the Fortuna Base.

This was short lived as the uprising of the Aparoids led to yet more catastrophic conflict, resulting in another devastating blow on Corneria City. Aparoid infection took hold on several Dog Soldiers and Cornerian Fighters, causing unwilling sacrifices. Dog Soldiers later assisted the Star Fox team in the defense of the Orbital Gate, led on by the Great Fox into the invasion of the Aparoid Homeworld. However, Aparoid Forces proved too strong for the Cornerians, forcing them to retreat at a 20% in casualties.
