History:
(Lockjaw#4 (fb) - BTS) <Decades ago (see comments)> - A peasant among the Inhumans of Attilan, Myrren apparently visited a human village (see comments), where she saw what appeared to be bulldog puppy who was someone's pet.

    Having never seen a human baby, she apparently thought that this was a human baby and was living under abusive conditions by savages, and so she took the puppy and returned to Attilan.

    After her actions had been discovered, it was believed that she had abducted a human child.

(Lockjaw#4 (fb)) - Myrren fled as security forces pursued and ultimately caught up to her. One of them grabbed her, and the other took the child.

    As Myrren futilely struggled, cursing the humans as savages and insisting that she had to save her, the one holding her started to charge her with unlawful entry into the human world and the kidnapping of a human baby.

    Unwrapping the "infant" and realizing it was a puppy, the other security agent interrupted the charging statement.

(Lockjaw#4 (fb) - BTS) - Myrren likely faced some punishment for unlawful entry into the human world.

    The puppy was taken into custody where Inhuman scientists used her as a test subject, somehow impregnating her and subjecting her to Terrigenesis (exposure/mutation via Terrigen mists) with her puppies in utero, to determine if the process was safe, as Genetics Council leader Agon wished to have the procedure performed on his wife, Rynda.

    The results of the Terrigenesis on the pregnant dog would result in Lockjaw, Bixby, Doc Jaw, Dogwalker, Dog and "the Beast."

Comments: Created by Daniel Kibblesmith and Carlos Villa.

Things that make you go "Hmmmm....": Where did Myrren go, and how did she get there?

In the months or years before Black Bolt's birth, Attilan was still on an island in the North Atlantic Ocean. It was Black Bolt who moved Attilan to the Himalayas after his parent's death when he was like 19-years-old.
Black Bolt's dad, Agon, became known as one of the greatest ruler's in Attilan's history over 100 years ago. And then he convinced his wife, Rynda, to subject herself to Terrigenesis when she was pregnant with what would become Black Bolt.
I don't know if Black Bolt is supposed to be over a 100 years old, or if we know when he was born, but the dog brought to Attilan was subjected to Terrigenesis while pregnant as a test to see whether it would be safe for Rynda, so it occurred before then.
Regardless, if they were on an island, it would have been a lot harder for Myrren to wander into a village and "rescue" the dog.
Maybe she could teleport, or maybe someone teleported her...or there was a nearby island?

Yes, Attilan was an island in the Atlantic until Black Bolt moved it in response to increased human shipping making it far more likely humans would discover it. And yes, that would make Myrren "wandering" to a human village tricky unless she could fly, swim hundreds of miles or teleport - and the swimming option wouldn't be good if she wanted to bring back a living dog.

Per the original handbooks and the location they put Attilan at, the nearest islands were Iceland (around 200km/125 miles) or the Faroe Islands (around 330km/205 miles)
