- id: integer, primary_key
- name: string, required
- birthday: date
- breed: string
- gender: enum(m,f), required

= age: integer -> calculate based on birthday
= is_puppy: boolean -> check if age < 1

> toys: hasMany(Toy)

? puppies -> where age < 1
? adults -> where age >= 1

~ full_name: string -> concatenate first_name and last_name
~ birth_year: integer -> extract year from birthday

% age: integer
% birthday: datetime

! name: 
    required -> name is required
    max:255 -> name must be less than 255 characters
    unique -> name must be unique
! gender: in(m,f)
! birthday: required, date
! breed: max:50
! age: integer

$ creating: checkUniqueName
$ deleting: logDeletion

^ view: checkViewPermission
^ update: checkUpdatePermission

@Job DogCleanup -> clean up old dog records
@Event DogCreated -> emit when dog is created
