Well the English word, "Hound" and its German derivative, "Hund" both imply/mean "Dog" so I suppose so. However, the "( )" is supposed to represent the "O" in "HOUND" Sorry for such a long-winded answer to your question. ^.^'
Thanks! Its a render I created from a wallpaper I found on the internet. ^.^ Wish I could find the artist who created it but I haven't turned up anything.
